Title: DIY Caliper Mounts for Aux Lights - Version 1
Post by: frankenduck on October 06, 2011, 05:25:33 PM
Caliper mounts made from 1" wide 1/8" thick aluminum bar stock from the hardware store.  Right angle bend was done in a vice while pounding with a hammer to keep the aluminum from breaking.

Approximate dimensions:
