I saw you link this in another thread. But do you have any pictures as to where it is mounted up? I have a water jet at work and i have been debating about making a light bar like this. Ha. I am pretty sure the mount arms and the lights tabs would be easy to make on there.

Just ran out and snapped a pic and attached it to the post. I made an 90 deg angle piece and welded it straight to the tab. You could also make the tab out of thicker material and just bend a 90 on the end either way. Then mounted it to the two brackets located right in this area.

You can see the tabs welded to the bar a lot better in Post #4.

Awesome! Thanks for the pic! Yea i saw you added the 90 degree bend, I was thinking I could make it out of once piece and toss it in our brake at work! Was that a pre exsiting bolt hole i take it also?

Yeah that bolt hole is on both sides already. Nothing was originally mounted to it so I'm not sure what it is meant for? Worked out to be a great location to mount to though.

No have at it. That is why I posted it. I wanted to encourage more people to build their own.
