Hi all,
New to this so bare with me. I have a 3 ltr turbo Patrol fitted with a smart bar. I am about to mount
driving lights on the front in preparation for the big trip with the family. I have found some threaded holes behind the bar that appear to be for brackets to hold the lights. I'm interested to hear from those who have mounted lights on a Smart Bar. It would appear that there might be some movement. Is that correct and if so what can I do to stabilise them?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a Smart Bar, its an older one and is for a different vehicle, so it may not be the same as yours.
On
mine, there are two metal plates that have 3 holes of which two fit over the threaded holes. Two bolts should be used to hold the metal plate to the Bar.
I had to drill a hole where the 3rd hole of the metal plate was. The bolt for
driving lights was then put through the hole and was done up from inside the Smart Bar. Don't forget to use spreader washers and nyloc or similar nuts on the inside to minimise the chance of the bolts coming loose.
Access to the inside of the Smart Bar is via a hole behind the Registration plate.
While I only have the Night Stalker Roo Lights (copy of Lightforce), I get minimal vibration of the lights so I am quite happy with the arrangement.
Cheers,
