Rock Guard Brackets
Does anyone make a better bracket system than what is supplied with the rock guards from Finish Line for the headlights ? I saw a great bracket system on someones Cobra a couples of weeks ago, looked home made, looked great

Skully, I know it's because I don't know where to look, but I can't find headlight stone guards on their site.. in any event, the only way I know of to secure those is with the tabs that fit under the headlight bezel. I don't think I've seen any other attachement.

Got mine at finishline but have seen them at Pep Boys. Here is another source: http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetai...rtno=T%2fD9132
Comes with 2 sets of 8 bezel mounted holders, 4 per side, 2 different lengths. Hold fine but.... some convex headlights force you to do some bending of the screen. AZ Bob |

They used a couple of knurled nuts and a simple bracket each side. |
When you say knurled nuts , what are they? That is the bracket system I was looking for.
|
Skully, a knurled nut is a round threaded cylinder with a crosshatching cut on the outside so it can me installed by hand without the use of a wrench. Usually about 3/8 inch long in that particular size, if that's what Nick was referring to.

Skully, don't worry about headlight rock guards, what I need while driving in Arizona is Windshield Rock Guards! :cool:
Driving with you guys for only 2 seasons produced more chips and one crack,which was repaired by Safelite, than 5 years of driving in Illinois.:CRY: It's probably because I'm always following Danr whose sticky tires are always flinging pebbles at me.:eek: Ralph:MECOOL: |
Well Ralphie, at least if you were following Danr, you weren't going very fast. He's usually following Mikiec and we all know how SLOW that is.
|
Well Karl, that is why a person should be a leader, not a follower. Leaders never get their windshields cracked! :D
Ralph:MECOOL: |
Ralphie, It's not the tires flinging pebbles at you... it's the driver ahead of you.:eek::rolleyes::cool:

It very well might be, petrified rabbit turds.

Why petrified? He just thinks it's bugs scattered all over his windshield.

If you have a good local hardware store they should have the knurled thumb nuts. If not try here http://www.mcmaster.com/#thumb-screw-nuts/=8ryzy4
or go from the other end http://www.mcmaster.com/#thumb-screws/=8rz1kd |
You could try McFadden-Dale Industrial Supply for the knurled nuts in Phoenix. They are South of the airport, off I-10 on 40th St (I think).
