Windshield bracket for smaller bolt setup

Post by manxvair »

 I wanted to use the buggy windshield clamps to mount my new LED light bar on the buggy. They come with 10mm X 1.25 thread pitch hole. This was to large a bolt for the light brackets. I just installed 8mm X 1.25 Heli coil right into the existing threads in the bracket. 


    Imagebolt on left= 8mm X 1.25, bolt on right 10mm X 1.25
