A light bar out of a B&Q sprit level,
i've been meaning to re-do my light bar for a while and since deciding to do the air step and keek the truck i've gutted everything i've fitted over the last 6 years,
this is what i wanted to do in the first place when i originally made the bar but then as now alloy oblong box is a bit pricy from metal suppliers, (about £13 plus shipping etc comes to just under 20 quid) then i thought of an alloy sprit level i had, even buying a new level would prob be less than buying box alloy, quick measure up and when the ends were cut off it was just long enough, ground the ribs off and the only prob then is the hole where the center level bubble was (or you could leave it in so ya could check your on level ground) or just cover it up, i made more holes to match only a wee bit smaller and cut some slots in the back, the pics tell how i made it, the marker lights were made from clear casting resin poured into some styreen moulds with led's dangleing in em, amber/yellow for the front and red for the rear slots, the end roof brackets and the ones holding the spots are from the old bar, i reccon this is neater than the double alloy box thing i originally made,
i have a ton or rewiring to do, so they wont get wired for a while,
I'll now get on with two heater units
