Mounting Hellas vertically
RichB - 23/1/09 at 11:25 PM

I know rear lights have been done to death but I've almost got my ideas right in my tiny mind!

I want to mount sets of the hella lights on the arches and not have any on the rear panel.

I know it's only the fog that has to be vertical but I want to keep them all the same. I mean using drainpipe or similar (like here) but cutting it in an arc to match the wing.

What would be the easiest way to cut a curve across a tube (like a drainpipe)?

Cheers for any advice

Place the drain pipe at the angle you want it to be against the wing. Measure the widest gap point between wing and pipe. Use a piece of wood or similar cut to the gap point size ( or slightly bigger. Fix a felt tip pen to the wood and lay it against the wing and draw round the pipe trying to keep the pen as perpendicular to the pipe wall as possible. i.e. the pen should always be pointing to the centre of the pipe.
