Question Lamp Brackets for my Cibie super oscar's?

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of spotlamp brackets for my 95 sti ra?
NOT the lower bumper ones but a pair similar to the mk2 escort, or is it a case of making a pair of escort brackets fit to accommodate my cibie super oscar's.
Cheers.

I've been thinking along similar lines recently..................

Don't think Escort ones will fit, but could be a starting point, any of the retro Ford mags have loads of ads for these.........

Well.............good idea in principle, but:

How are you going to fix the brackets to the bumper area? It's plastic
How are you going to stop the lights vibrating?
How are you going to bend the steel/alloy needed to make the brackets? How will you get it welded, with stabilising brackets? You ought to look at a pair of Escort ones before you start: 3 pont fixing, for stability, and the lights STILL vibrated unless individually stabilised

You might be better off looking at some of the smaller , but FAR more efficient HID auxilliary lights that exist these days. A super Oscar can put out 130W max. An HID is 300W halogen equivalent. Which is better?

escort ones will fit cos i've just put them on the ra i bought for road rallying, the stabilisers fit to the bonnet, its the only way of doing it i think.

Cheers guys, Mk2 Escort brackets it is then, a bit of cut and shut can't be that difficult.

Mk 2 brackets look too flat to me, a couple of extension bits welded to Mk1 brackets and some bending look like they'll do the job.
