Front light bracket
Of the various ways of doing the front light brackets, how does this look?
I know the light isn't quite straight before anyone mentions it.
Yes, it will be at the right high for SVA.
Piece of flat bar under the ali trim which supports the light. The ali plate will be carbon fibre when finished and cover all the sharp edges and has
a nicely rounded front edge and side on it.
Kind of Stuart Taylor-ish but on a bigger scale.
I think it looks "tidy".
Any thoughts?

No, Salfordian come Yorkshireman in the last few years.
So no one likes it then?

Going to look at some Robins now...

Ok,
Other solution.
I can utilise the round top front chassis tube to house the headlight bracket "arms" as my shock bracket would get in the way if I did it
the same way as Triton's.
