    Default binfordm715 : Blackout Driving Light base mount

    Blackout Driving Light base mount
    Post by binfordm715 on Jul 30, 2006, 11:58pm

    I can't find the coffee-stained drawing Oilcan gave me at the FE. Grrrr....

    I wanted to get the specs to Saxon, who just happens to be a sheet metal man! And see if I can persuade him to pound one out for me.

    Anyone have a sketch with dimensions? I can bend the two mounting tabs myself , so all I'd need are the dimensions of those, not the angle. All the other angles are 90 degrees, so that's not a problem.

    Thanks!

    Heres the best specs I can give....

    The plate is 4 inches wide from end to end and is 1/16th inch thick.

    I made a side view drawing of the plate by tracing the spare plate I have:



    Dimensions:
    A= 3/4 inch
    B= 5/8ths inch
    C= 4 inches
    D= 1 13/16ths inch
    E= 7/8ths inch

    Top view, simple, just trying to show the bolt spacing and hole sizes...



    The holes on the edges, on the flanges in the first drawing, are 9/32nds inch diameter.

    The hole centers on the short edge of the first image, section A, are 3/8ths inch in from the long side edge. Each of the 2 holes in that end are 1/2 inch on center in from the short side edge, there are 3 inches center to center of the 2 holes.

    The hole centers on the long edge of the first image, section E, are 7/16ths inch from the long side edge. As with the other end, each of the 2 holes in that end are 1/2 inch on center in from the short side edge, there are 3 inches center to center of the 2 holes.

    The large flat top area has 3 holes as seen in the 2nd image, section C. The holes are all 1/2 inch on center from the side edges of the plate. The 2 holes on the upper part of the 2nd drawing...the one on the left, toward the short flange side, is 9/16ths inch on center from the edge...the one on the right is 11/16ths inch on center from the opposite edge. The 2 are 2 3/4 inches on center from each other. The single hole on the other side is 2 inches on center from each edge...dead center of that 4 inch section.


    If anyone needs more info, just ask.


    EDIT: Ihad dimensions forA, B, D, and E swapped around before...corrected now...

    Also, note that the left flange in the first pic is straighter than I thought it was...though there is some bend to it...and the drawing is not perfectly level...section C should be horizontal.
