Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Show Me Your Fog Light Mounts

Thanks Jon, they are £15 ish cheaper, but it’s the wing brackets that cost more than the spots lights.

Cheers Jon, it's all about the nipples









Apparently they're even more pronounced in cold waether

These fog lights are Marchal 670/680 replicas, not cheap but still French made and excellent quality, often used in period on Ferrari 250s, Maserati 3500s and Facel Vegas but most commonly seen or Porsche 356s.




The secret to the mystical golden glow is clear lenses covering the correct Marchal yellow globe bulb.





The effect is rather beguiling, romatic, nay enchanting even




The mystical golden glow should work well against Monty's Sport Green paint and will tie in nicely with the brass and gold details I've been adding.

Only thoughts are the OE overriders have very flimsy mounts when it comes to sideways movement so lamps would be all over the place on bumps. Mine modified by Wolf to fit through their valance also have a stainless bracing bar they supplied which fits between the two mounts to really stiffen them up.

For a while, Ledgerwood sold a stainless spotlamp bracket which fitted behind the number plate box, with two small spotlights on each end of the box.

The over rider brackets can easily be beefed up using a flat sheet of aluminium between them. If you're really lucky the predrilled holes will already be on the inside.

I put one on here Mark way back around 2010. I'll see if I can find it.

I'm struggling to find the image, but check this out:

Thanks Dave, that's really interesting. The bracket is probably what I was thinking about, pity it's not available to buy.

Send Keith a PM, he will have the drawings I expect.

Do it Craig they look ace

Seeing as it's a bit grim up north today and I'm bored, I thought I'd show off my classic Lucas nipples
