    Nugget Gear will also be available "down South" from British Car Components (BCC) in North Melbourne very soon.

    We intend to fit some of it (like these most excellent light guards) up to our first project car "The Count" in the coming months. As such, a good chunk of it should be available for local viewing and "touchy feely" fairly soon.

    Forget "banging away" on the computer, just call (or call in) and let us know if you want anything specific "in stock" to help with your decision making prior to purchase.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    Just a bit more info on the front light guards as mine are, in my humble opinion, a bit neater than others on the market


    The top securing points can not be accessed from the inside so Rivnuts are the best option. I have used 5mm Aluminum ones to be compatible with the ally panel. I was never happy with the fixing on the 110 as the top bar sat on the head of the rivnut which had it sitting proud of the panel. I have machined a recess in the back of the top bar to accommodate the rivnut head which means the top rail sits flush on the panel, spreading the load more effectively.







    Fitting is dead easy with 2 rivnuts at the top and 2 bolts and flange nuts at the bottom. I also beefed up the bottom securing by using a 20 x5 ally flat bar on the backside of the panel which gives far greater support. All the bolts and washers are stainless of course.







    The top rail sits completely flush with the recessed back to accommodate the head of the rivnut







    And the final result, all frocked up and no where to go J

    Great gear

    Just received my Nugget Stuff light guards order in the mail yesterday.

    Very professionally finished and packed, and right on time.

    These are a very slick piece of kit and anyone bothering to go O/S or Ebay searching for anything better for the money must have rocks in their head!

    Great Price, Great Product and Aussie made!

    Thanks for proving it can be done Nugget!
    Hoo-Roo,

    Question, if you need to remove or replace any of the lights behind this, will you have to undo all 4 securing points to get to them?
