    Angry TTG Light Bracket - Finally Got Mine Fab'd, but...

    ...friggin' thing doesn't fit. It seems to be too large from top to bottom and maybe sticks out from the battery box too far. We fabricated it from a drawing posted somewhere on the forum (could not find the thread again), but did save a JPG of the dwg. We made 4 brackets just like the factory LWB versions according to this non-factory dwg and all the dimensions are pretty darn close, except for one. That is the 1-3/8" dimension for the front of the bracket. It came out more like just over 1-3/8", plus the part of the bracket that angles from the front of the bracket to the front of the battery box might be at the wrong angle. The combination of these two "misses" could put the bracket hole at that end lower than it should be by a fairly large measure (1/4" to 1/2" off). One of the critical dimensions missing is the top to bottom measurements from a couple of different perspectives. That would have helped me locate the hole better.

    I have a couple of questions. First, are all the LWB cars' battery boxes pre-punched at the factory for the TTG light brackets. I have to assume that they are - dumb question. Second, can anyone with factory brackets take some measurements for me? Maybe from the hole that mounts to the front of the battery box to the flat portion of the bracket that mounts to the top of the battery box. Are the rest of the dimensions in the dwg correct? Thanks and I will post a pic of one of these brackets a little later.
