Just wondering if anyone on here has homemade S13 Silvia Headlight brackets. I need to make some and I can't find any instructions or pictures of home made brackets. Tried google but no luck.

me and my friend made them from "L" brackets from home depot and ghettofying them to fit was only temporary until we found some later on. just improvise if you really wanna make them yourself

yeah the L brakets is a good idea until you find some stock brackets unless you do a kick ass job, then just leave them it your choice... i would say you could also try making some brakets or something like aluminum or steel sheet that is strong but still a little flexible, i use something like that to hold my intercooler and have never had any problems...

New OE brackets aren't much more than $40 or so.

Ok, Thanks I'm probably going to just order them from Westco then. I checked and there only like $17 a piece + $15 for priority shipping to a shipping depot in Washington.

I guess once the paint is finished I will post up pics of my Sil Truck. Started the project late July and it should be done within a week or so.

Jonnie Fraz has some he makes from Aluminum. Really nice quality.

Not sure if he still has any or not, but it's another direction to investigate.
