George,The bar also is a good stiffener for the front of the car between the frame horns. Doug Jennings used it on his auto cross car!
This photo shows one of the badge bars connected to the accessory bar. I had the correct driving light brackets but I had a set of light mounts that allowed me to place the lights on the badge bar instead of using the mounts for the accessory bar and since I wanted something different I mounted the lights on the badge bar. The only badge on this car is my very old SCCA badge that has been mounted on the right grill bar since I first joined SCCA. I sold the light brackets to a U.K. owner yesterday so they're headed back to their point of origin. I do have several sets of Lucas light brackets and several styles in Rootes boxes that are held on by the bolt that holds the bumper to the frame rail. I used a set of these brackets to mount one set of my Rootes lights on the current Harrington project. The Harrington setup still needs a little tweaking of the bumper, etc. but you'll get the idea.Another look at an accessory bar with the fog lights connected to the bar behind the bumper. Only badges were meant to be on the badge bar which is also connected to the accessory bar. Purchased from Ian Spencer when he was unloading his parts. This was one of many that he had specially made in England.
A few years back I had a half dozen accessory bars made up, also the light mounting brackets. Eventually I sold them all. At that time there was not a lot of interest in them.Given the accessory bar is simply flat steel with four bends, could I suggest making a dimensioned drawing of it. That way they can be reproduced locally by individuals. The chrome badge bar and light brackets are probably worth having a batch made as they are a little more fiddly.
I used one of the bars from Ian as the pattern. I took Ian's bar to a local shop and had them make mine based on that.Hi Paul A,
were dimensioned drawings made for the batch you had made, or were they made to match a sample item? If the former, would you share the drawings? I'd be happy to turn them into a tech article and post them in the tech section of SAOCA website.

Other Paul ;-)
