Has anyone got a link to the template for the cross hairs for the DIY smokie hella conversion?

Sorry mods if this is in the wrong section, already done a search and couldn't find anything.

Any help would be lovely :D

eko, word of advice before you get the mig out...

take a headlamp apart stand one up as i should and place the glass back over the top.

They look exactly like a set I got off someone off here, I spent ages trying to get them to fit cut new holes etc... remember that welding stainless steel requires special wire!

The ones I had look identical and were way too tall to fit in the headlight by a long way.

I am making a set of my own from a steel shelving unit, seems to be good size for it and it's free.

I believe ziggy has a template for the cross hairs if I dont have it in my PM box infact!
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

right-o!

I reckon it can be done but I got hacked off and made some more from thinner steel.

I cant remember who I got mine off but as soon as I saw them I knew it wasnt going to be as straight forward as one had hoped!
