Tired of the windscreen 'kissing' the back of the HID canons I have mounted over the mirror, I decided to go see my engineer and have them extended to clear the screen during its movement. I figured a 40mm extension was good enough - turned out to be perfect. :thumbs

He did a great job - now to sand them and paint....

So far, so good. Picking up some satin black on the way home tonight to finish them off.

Ok, I have tidied up this thread, since I started the off topic bit :spank
Having just tried to fit the brackets to Lionel's ST13 I can why this modification should be done before fitting the brackets, unless you want to cut the screen up. Well done young man :clap

You didn't consider powdercoating for a tougher finish?

Mate to be honest - didn't even think of it. :o
@Saaz - yep - if I was running thinner halogens or LEDS - no probs - but the added built-in ballasts make this a hefty unit to negotiate the windscreen.
Cheers, Diesel

I just modified my screen to clear the screen. I removed about 15mm on each side of the widest part. Now it measures 610mm wide, which clears the HID canons.
Terry might like Ebay, I prefer my Dremel.

I have since changed back to thinner bodied LED spotties, and these work perfectly too (mechanically speaking)
