I needed
a place to mount my
retractable Headlights.
I also needed to brace
the front end fiberglass
body as the last support
is where the body
connects with the pan
right about where the
brake master cylinder is
located. I made two
brackets with half holes
to clamp on the two
torsion bar tubes. I
then built a frame out
of 1 14" x 1 1/4: 14
gauge square tubing.
Below the
frame is test fitted
before painting.

The slotted headlight
mount has been welded on
and painted. Notice the
diagonal piece on the
right. It mounts to the
body just inside the
headlight hole to
support the weight of
the fiberglass front
end.
Below you can see where
the headlight mounts.
You can also see the
wooden strip that bolts
to the diagonal body
brace. (Not yet
installed in the photo
on the right below)
Above: a
better view how the body
brace bolts to the front
beam. Below left you can
see with the support
removed. Picture on
right shows with the
headlight in the down
position.
