Longest bar to the front as it leans forward , short bar almost straight up in front of the roll bar.
Bar brackets need to be fitted so that the bars can fold back to be stowed , thats if you want them to, mine dont as i boobed when i did my brackets due to not fitting them outboard enough plus my roll bar is padded thus making it even harder to get round, so i just leave the front one at home, the rear bar is then strapped to the roll bar to stow it.
A possible good mod would be to use an early Sprite or MG roof bars as they are spring loaded to adjust the hood tension and only need one socket to fit into, plus they split in the centre for stowing.

I did feel very sorry for Mark webber, he wins a GP and no one seems to notice! The bbc news in the evening was all about Button, they didn't even mention who had won the race!
I totally agree with you Peter , as it was very shabby on the BBC's part and very noticable too, Mark Webber certainly deserved better than that for he did win the race afterall,
Having said that it was a great acheivement on the part of Ross Brawn , the team and a well driven year by Jenson and Rubins also.
But unfortunatly all the 3 events happened on the same day.

Hi Charlie , if you change to a thicker angle it should not cause you too much trouble as you will be able to drill the front new angle to fit the original bolt holes and so giving you more room for the spacer washers by moving the angle holes a few mm back.
Just note the measurements from the Mono to the edge of the pivot tubes so as to keep your suspension settings the same and adjust as necessary with washers.

Its possibly this stuff then
Is it one large piece or lots of small pieces as above , if small pieces you should be able to pull them out one by one if you are lucky.

A few moons ago i worked in a fabrication business which my uncle owned and next door was our metal store a Steel Stockholder HGD, they used to send customers who wanted small amouts to us, if we hadnt got it in stock we just popped next door grabbed a length and sold it to them whatever length the customer wanted. Any local fab shop should be able to supply you with whatever you required.

Check your main earth battery to chassis . chassis to engine etc as your clutch cable maybe acting as an earth path for some reason, a possible broken/dirty connection of the chassis to engine strap.
I assume that all your other lights are ok and not dimming also, if so this could be down to a loose fan belt or even an iffy alternator and or battery etc. when revs drop on de-clutching, HTH

Hi Charlie, what size is your angle iron as fitted and exactly where is it bent as i cant see from you picture.
My Mk1 front angle is 2"x2 1/2" rear 2"x2" both 830 mm long and 5mm thick, no problems with bending as yet.
This has also been re-inforced on the rear mounting hole to the Mono chassis with thick plates to spread the load.

Mine was initialy built without the hood being fitted and i had to move the screen back quite a lot to get it to fit properly and with the screen supports looking nice and square, spare holes filled and scuttle had to be repainted etc, damn inconvienance to say the least.
