Rock Guard Brackets
Does anyone make a better bracket system than what is supplied with the rock guards from Finish Line for the headlights ? I saw a great bracket system on someones Cobra a couples of weeks ago, looked home made, looked great

Skully, I know it's because I don't know where to look, but I can't find headlight stone guards on their site.. in any event, the only way I know of to secure those is with the tabs that fit under the headlight bezel. I don't think I've seen any other attachement.

Got mine at finishline but have seen them at Pep Boys. Here is another source: http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetai...rtno=T%2fD9132
Comes with 2 sets of 8 bezel mounted holders, 4 per side, 2 different lengths.
Hold fine but.... some convex headlights force you to do some bending of the screen.

They used a couple of knurled nuts and a simple bracket each side.

When you say knurled nuts , what are they? That is the bracket system I was looking for.

Skully, a knurled nut is a round threaded cylinder with a crosshatching cut on the outside so it can me installed by hand without the use of a wrench. Usually about 3/8 inch long in that particular size, if that's what Nick was referring to.

Skully, don't worry about headlight rock guards, what I need while driving in Arizona is Windshield Rock Guards!
Driving with you guys for only 2 seasons produced more chips and one crack,which was repaired by Safelite, than 5 years of driving in Illinois. 
It's probably because I'm always following Danr whose sticky tires are always flinging pebbles at me.

Well Ralphie, at least if you were following Danr, you weren't going very fast. He's usually following Mikiec and we all know how SLOW that is.

Well Karl, that is why a person should be a leader, not a follower. Leaders never get their windshields cracked!

Why petrified? He just thinks it's bugs scattered all over his windshield.

You could try McFadden-Dale Industrial Supply for the knurled nuts in Phoenix. They are South of the airport, off I-10 on 40th St (I think).
