Bonjour Fabrice,

Sorry, I do not know any French language to reply to you but I will make a drawing of the bracket for you in the next hour and post it here for you.

Default CMP truck- Sidelight bracket drawing

Bonjour Fabrice,

Here is the finished drawing.

Note thickness of steel is actually 0.210 inch. I gave 3/16" as a nominal size.

All brackets have 2 holes in them for attaching them to the mudguard and some have a third hole. Not sure why the third hole, but perhaps someone in the forum can answer that.

The photo shows my Ford brackets with only 2 holes.

Hope this is of some help to you and anyone else needing these dimensions.

All the best,

Smile fountain of knowledge on the bracket of lights

Ah, the joy of being part of MLU! By posting a question translated from French I am yet again exposed to the beauty of that language: "bracket of lights" sounds much better than "light bracket" or somesuch, doesn't it?

And by tapping into the fountain of knowledge here on MLU, a member from the other side of the world whips out a detailed drawing of the subject part. All within 24 hrs!

Thanks to all of you, guys. It is a true joy being part of this community (and now I will shut up before this thread derails).

Best regards,
Hanno
