Been restoring a rubber bumpered MGB roadster and now want to fit a pair of spotlights.I don't want to drill bumper.Best advise to date is to bracket them off mesh between bumper and radiator.Could do with any ideas to help me make a good job. Thanks

Yup I had a look at a rubber bumper MG the other day, I think the only option is to run a bracket thru the small grille beneath the main bumper, assuming there is something substantial enough under there to securely mount brackets on?

Thanks,Rick.Confirms what Moss' chap at Darlington told me.Might be able to get a short piece of flat steel on back of grill to spread load.This chap advised me not to use a badge bar cos I'd get too much shake on lights. Cheers,Rodders

Aye I think you would have to watch the overall weight of lamps, badge bar etc

good luck
