Thread: spotties

Most CB radio shops sell them.

saw a decent DIY job for spotties on a bullbar the other day, guy had used 2 x exhausts clamps per light and made a flat plate to go behind the clamps to take the spotty. was done quite neatly and seamed to be quite strong. sorry, didnt happen to get a piccy, but i imagine it would be pretty cheap to make up yoself

oops sorry for some reason I was thinking about CB aerials !

Vlad is right. CB antenna mounts should fit and are quite strong enough to hold your spotlights.
I used them and they work a treat and come complete with the hole for the spotlight to bolt onto

Bit hard to see but I used CB antenna mount brackets to mount the top ones.

Just asking but aren't you going to loose any insurance if you're in an accident with the lights mounted so high?
I thought they need to be mounted no higher than the original lights.

There are two mounts already on the bar, one of which is holding the UHF antenna. The two brackets holding the lights are mounted lower than the original mounts so technically are below the ADR designed mounts.
I've never had any queries from the popo when ever I've been thru an RBT, licence check etc.

Ok.
But your insurance company will look for ways not to pay out. On another thread someone was saying that if you're in accident with a 4wd at night tell the police that their lights dazzled you. If they're mounted too high the driver is in trouble.
