Subject:Re: Cibie H4 rectangular in a Vanagon?

Hi All:
      I have a set of Cibie 5x7's with City Lights waiting to go in - the mounting is
      similar to the Hellas, but the attachment will require drilling
      and tapping some small holes in the metal tabs on the lights.
      It's easy if you can cut metal and weld it up.  Daniel Stern
      sells all you would ever need for lighting stuff.

      No big deal, but I'm booked until next August with the pipe
      organ project - In a moment of drunken stupor I committed to
      hosting a Summer Camp, sort of a school-seminar-social
      convention for theatre organ fans who show up and get learned
      real good like, on how to play the organ.  The problem is that
      the building is not finished in the inside AND the organ hasn't
      been winded yet.  Much work to do, is.   Stay tuned for Van
      progress later.

Hi Group,

I've gotten my hands on a couple of 5x7' Cibie H4 headlamps. The plan
is to fabricate a mounting system to adapt them to the standard
Vanagon rectangular buckets and adjusters.

Has anyone tried this before? I know Randy Bergum did this with
Hellas: http://home.earthlink.net/~organslave/id18.html but the Cibies
would be the ultimate upgrade.
