    Headlight mounts

     



    Can anyone please offer assistance in finding a set of these headlight mounts (see link below)... I have been told that they are possibly made by a person called Jim Wrench but i am unsure.
    If anyone could please provide me with some contact details that would be great!

    Those are real cool looking headlights. I wonder how bright they are and if they have been updated with halogen?

    My guess is they are a one-off item. I have never seen anything in any catalogs like this. Pretty cool, though. I wouldn't think they would be all that hard to make.

    Yes, a headlight bar that has been cut off, reshaped, and had a pair of studs welded to the back side. The studs extend thru the fender and fender bracket, with nuts on the inside of the fender bracket.

    You've got the spelling wrong on his name, but easy to do if you're only familiar phonetically.
    It's ; Jim Rench Hot Rod Stuff
    Jerseyville, Illinois
    Look him up on an internet directory for contact info.

    He's well known for custom grilles, very likely that's a fully custom made piece that evokes the notion of a modified stock lightbar.
