Fog light bracket.

[Dejammey]

I have looked all over faq and have not seen what I am looking for. I want to see how someone went about making a bracket for fog lights that come out of the square bumper holes in the front of the car. I have a idea what I want to do but seeing how someone else made one might help.

Thanks guys,

Here's a thread on a good fog light bracket design. although not through the square bumper bracket holes:

@BrentF I have seen those and almost bought a set but I think I want my lights to sit lower than that.

I used aluminum angle iron bolted inside the square bumper holes. easy and cheep.

I fabricated a set of brackets just like the ones that mount behind/through the grilles out of 1 1/2" aluminum stock fairly easily. A few cuts and bends and some finish grinding and they turn out great.

Could you post some pictures of how you fabricated/mounted brackets in the bumper holes? I am searching for a good way to either fill-in or cover up my square bumper holes.

Thanks

Pierre's brackets are awesome. You could pull a horse with them. I would nt go another way.

They are VERY worth it!

check out the thread regarding custom duckbill spoilers, there's a pic of a '74 (green with white stripes, Ludvig02 in Denver) with fog lights mounted in what looks like the holes for the big bumper. this might be what you're looking for

I just installed a set of brackets that use the old bumper square holes. I liked the look of the fog lights lower down as well.

Basically what I did was: get a piece of 1"3/4 steel tube roughly 13" long (depends how far out you want the lights to sit). Then I took a 1" plug, drilled a hole the size of the fog light bolt, and welded a nut inside the plug. Finally I welded the plug inside the steel tube. the fog light screws into the end of the plug, and the entire piece is locked in exactly like the front bumper assembly was in the rubber housing. (one bolt in the back and the locking bracket in the front.

I am just wrapping up the wiring now and then will post some pictures.
