Morning job today went well.
1st job was alignment, marking and drilling. I have enough space under the slope to use 150mm bolts so the light and wedge are through bolted. I made little wedges for the underside too so the nuts are tightening on a flat surface
Plenty of sealant underside of the wedge and underside of the light
Wasnt after a colour match but it is a bit cream so might get a ratyle can at some point but not that fussed. Doesnt stand out.
Fortunately 12v power wiring was already there inside from the previous search light (2 pin plug in type) so the had to decide on controller location. The controller was a lot bigger that i thought but i nice item so stuck it upstairs
And here we are finished!
Looks OEM to me and given its a £60 AliExpress special, I'm happy. The main thing is it covers old screws and hardware from 1991 whilst also being functional.
