| - | |These rectangular strips were bought from a hardware store. They are size 3 (CHGO NO 3) and the holes are 1" apart (center to center). \\ You can also find stainless spacers in the correct size. Cut and shape the brackets, over drill one hole on each, paint them. ((photos by DedPyro of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=916453&page=11))||| | ||

| - | |Use the original signal mounts, some flat metal stock and a bolt with the same thread as mirrors. Cut the stock to size and drill the 3/8" holes for the tree mount. ((photos by dieselbikin of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=916453&page=10))||| | ||

| - | |This mod works great for the Forty Eight as well. The only difference is that you need to drill two 3/8" holes in both brackets and angle the brackets from the tree \\ slightly to allow the nut to clear. The 48 turn signal has the wires running through the mounting stud rather than having them come out the back of the housing. \\ The mounting stud is the perfect length to fit the new 1" spacer and there is ample room to bolt the original nut and lock washer to the new bracket.
