The bracket that mounts to the hood. I have a BO Light but not the correct 715 brackets.

It's just one piece. Your best bet is probably to make your own. This will help:



An Adam-cad drawing....

This might be a bit more helpful, reposted from the temp site:

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.

I have a few extra without the holes yet. They match perfectly to a NOS bracket Jon lent me. They do not match perfectly to the original on one of my trucks. I've sent one or two to members here for 5$ plus shipping but no report about how they fit. I also had another member I was supposed to send one to but have long forgotten who it was for the life of me. If interested, send me a PM
