Search light on the cheap

[A C H]

We after the debarcle with my stainless steel exhaust today I fancied something a bit more interesting to tinker with (and Tina was at work!!) so I pulled out the box of bits that had been lurking in the shed for some 5 years now, quite an unusual box of rubbish, a 1955 Aerial headlamp shell, a 7" concave headlight, BSA Goldstar headlamp brackets, the metal cover off an old water heater element and some other junk, but when it's all together it should be a cracking search light. Especially with a 130W Halogen bulb. :o

I'll keep you posted on progress!!

I marked the centre of the head light shell and using a hole cutter cut 100mm hole in to weld the cap into position, the reason I did this is because of the size and shape of the convex halogen lense, I thought it would be best to have a good space between the fittings and the back of the shell as I imagine it will get rather hot. ;)

Off car booting tomorrow if its not raining so find a Mini or British bike head light trim, the bit that holds the headlight in, hopefully a 50p car boot bargin! :D
