Default Need mounting bracket help. 10" ligh bar fairlead mount.

Bought a 10" light bar to go above fair lead but it requires a mount with holes 13" center to center. I could only find 11" or less. Anyone have this issue and find a better mount? It is hawse version.

ID:	627804 If so PM me your address! I'll mail you a brand new one still in the box. Once you receive mail me a check for the shipping. I bought my 10" led "E" series rigid light from PSC and got the free mounting bracket. Already had one. Just laying on my bench collecting dust.

This is the bracket I have I can mail you.

Thanks all but my mounting holes are 13" centered. NR measured the PS version while I was on the phone and it will not work. I have one rigged up now but it looks like crap. I might have to buy one of a 12 or 13" light.

The fairlead mounting holes or the light? If it's a 10" light with 13" mounting holes you may have the light brackets facing the wrong way.

Exactly! The foot of the bracket needs to go back under the light. Took a quick pic of mine. Click image for larger version

This is the one I have. They face out and can't be reversed.

I see. Even went on Quadratec's website to get a closer look. The wire mounting point on the light prevents it. You do have a dilemma. Well....if you get a new light the offer stands. I'll send you my bracket. PM if needed. Good luck!

If I had ur light I'd get a piece of 1/8" metal / bar stock thats equal to the outside measurement of the mounting feet of your light and the same depth as the feet. I'd weld it to the top of the PSC plate I'm willing to send you....paint it, mount it and then attach my light. That way u only have two mounting bolts showing.

You should be able to run a piece of flat stock from Home Depot along the top of the 10" bracket. You would have to drill 4 holes in it. 2 to mount the flat stock to the 10" bracket and 2 to mount the light to the flat stock.
