Thanks Martin,

I used ali, because I had it lol, but as long as you shape it to the headlining should be fine, if you take the light off you,ll see theres two screws, and a big hole in the lamp base.
I just made the hole in the metal about the same size and drilled two hols to suit the two in the lamp base. I found two bolts the same thread and cut them down so they did'nt hit the roof.

It's been up there for a few years with no probs, powered straight from the batt with inline fuse, in the bulkhead via the gromit, then up the side of the winscreen pillar hidden behind the trim. I use a mag mount twig and have been happy with it .

hope that helps

Andy

At the risk of showing my age, do you still need a licence for a CB?:blush:

No you don't.

Great place to mount one as well, in the 'roof space'.
That's where mine's going to go.

Usable inside or outside the truck, esp good when winching, usually run from a 12v ciggy power supply cos it takes 10 pencell batteries!! No screw holes or bracketry.
Range is OK in an off road convoy............all I need.....
