right sorry for the 2 month odd silence but finally got a couple of pics of what i've been working on

this is kinda what i originally had in my head when i was saying about a U bolt through the middle as a recovery point have since had a change of plan slightly.. but still using a length of 70mmx70mm box section that "just happened to be the right length" that i found at work :lol:

couple of photos of new bumper on a mill having pockets cut out and holes drilled ready for rear lights

Image

and squaring up the edges of the mounting plates that will be used to bolt it to the truck

Image


cutting up some bar on the crop saw

Image

then jump on this old lathe. Produces vaguely ok components for being knackered and 50+ years old

Image

new lights are the same led jobs that dan_2k is using, i bought 2 sets. (which reminds me pay up dan!)

I would definitely seal those light closed!

Mine were pre-sealed when I got them and as soon as I (reversed into a bank and) ruined the seals, they became useless! PCBs aren't particularly water resistant!

Have they got resistors built in? Or have you got to add them.
