mmore says the holes 12mm diametre...Hella bolts are 8mm
That would make a plan come together and make my front winch bumper scheme much easier

I'd tent to agree with the ~12mm width... just enjoy wiring them up.... and find the two hidden screws where you have to remove the rubber at the back of the bonnet... :)

I changed a hole wind screen and surround from one 97 Tj to another and had no problems with the Torx bolts!

Good

Fitting the brackets went much better than I expected
Got an auto electrician in to move them after I'd taken the cowl off as you advised :wink:
He was actually from the place that fitted the lights.. He wired them up past the battery for the relay near the N/S front head lamp and then drilled a hole in the front bulkhead (below the rubber strip)  and ran the wiring through there to the lights

Then I put the wiring behind the windscreen hinges to re-fit the cowl and moved the lights to the front of the brackets in order that the aeriel wasn't bent

Just got to align them now :D
