[QUOTE="craig, post: 131208, member: 1959"] Obviously the Vincent B series lower 8"headlamp brackets are way more important than where your nuts are. Yes there could be geometry issues between Bramptons and Girdraulics as to where the lower mount point is for the headlamp brackets. The current brackets are of high quality, double crushed tubing instead of single for strength. It appears, to me, that a change in dimensions in the supplied part F86/1 has occurred while we were sleeping. The period (1945-47) pics all show the large headlamp mounted an inch or two higher, while all restored/maintained series B have the lower mount brackets. I am recommending a "special task force" be appointed to look into this bracketry before it gets too wide spread and becomes the "new norm".
