Does anyone fabricate light bars or mounts

[differentstrokes]

I have a brand new set of hella 500's I need to mount up and would like to buy a light bar like ricky stator's duner bar or possibly a baja bar if it's reasonable. I really don't want to use just the stock mounts since they'll bend. Somebody has to have what I need, let me know if you know who makes them or if you have one to sell. I know it's not the wanted section.

ive been thinking about this for some time. Ricky stators's baja light bar is 125. bar only. i hap drawn up plans to make my own, but i couldnt find anyone in town to bend up some .750 tubing. everyone wanted an arm and a leg. so much that it was almost reasonable to buy the bar pre-fabbed. however, here are my thoughts on the design if you DIY.

 

copy the RS bar but dont use the stock mounts, hack them off and use 10mm heims for the lower mounts. now replace the shock bolts with longer ones and these would be some solid mounts for sure. for the uppers i was gonna bolt it to the two bolts that hold on the upeer tank shroud plastics. those stock bolts are pretty tiny, so replacing them would be a must. settle for like some 6mm's instead of the '4's.

Oxy-acetaline and anything big and round is all you need to do it yourself. That and maybe some sort of welder. Nothing much to a light bar...

I have made a couple in the past... They are easy to make if you have the tools. If I can get enough interest maybe I'll make a few up and sell them.

I know I want one, make a thread to check for interest and I'm sure you can get a few more.

i have access to a lathe to make the threaded weld-in bungs, and own a MIG, with access to TIG.

 

welding isnt the issue. but does anyone have any idea of what to use for a 3-4 inch radius bend? i can get hold of a oxy/acet torch at work. since it is a dealership maybe an old steel wheel would work well enough to bend the material?

yea a 3-4 piece of pipe tacked to a table.. iv made a few light bars but without the big ring around the lights.. they kinda distract me. plus you will still trash your lights in a roll over.. i actually need to make a new one but i dont have stock light mounts..

so, like one big hoop that has the light mounts about even with the top of the radiator? that way it wouldnt block air flow, and you could still use the stem rad mount as a top mount.
