In the case of (my) 2 x 200mm driving lights - they are substantially further forward and therefore different flow characteristics.

And in Australian?

I'm guessing you disagree with my statement...

Even though testing has been done and shown that the flow behaves as I stated...

Don't disagree at all. U just havn't stated anything other than that they are different.

I'd like to for a decent set of LED spots such as ARB have. Not sure on mounting them to the LR bracket though so it does not wobble about and is not easy prey for the thieves.

You can see the setup on the avatar

PeterOz when I bought my D3 it had LR spots mounted like that.
They were very lose and vibrated badly. I believe its quite common for them to go that way over time.

There was some sort of compression fastener used that came lose and couldn't be tightened. In the end I took it all apart drilled out the fasteners and replaced each with a nut and bolt and used a second nut as a locker. I sealed them up with loctite. Since then I've driven a horrible mountain road once or twice a day and they're good and firm so it worked a treat.

It was a right pain having to take the front apart, not difficult but a real pain and wait until you remove the cosmetic covers for the spots and see how they hack out the plastic:eek: absolutely shocking. HTH

Sorry for the diversion. The brackets and light bar look great. I see this mod in my future [biggrin] Might also be a neat way of mounting a front Anderson:BigThumb:

heres my light bar!

i used a House Stirrup as brackets for the Light Bar above the windscreen

Love the Light it gives, with no rebound on the bonnet!
