750mm from the centre of one overider to the other, or 690mm of clear space between them.

Cheers Paul
690 / 25.4 = 27.16"
27.16" / 4 = 6.79"
I guess I dont have room for 4x8" spot lamps then unless I can work it with some clever brackety or shorten the overider bars and move the overiders out???

Neil ,
I have 2 160mm Hella spotlights on my Pick up and the original 60's bumper with overiders from my old mk2.
With lamps 160mm across I would be able to get 4 on.
Not that I will be doing that when it eventually gets restored . I think stuff like that is best left to minis not so rare .

you will need a second engine just to supply the electrical power to those hoofing great lamps! ;D i think that would just about finish off your 850... how about just a nice little pair of period chrome spotlamps instead?
