I can tell you where to order them, but at least one other member has had a problem with the source taking the money and not shipping anything. Until this is resolved one way or another, I'm reluctant to tell you to go there. Do a search on Ebay.com (not Ebay.de) for "Mercedes G". There was another source selling them there. | ||

These are the lights you want. This guy used to have auctions on Ebay.com, although his prices are up some from where they were on Ebay.com. He is not the one I talked about earlier with delivery problems. | ||

Posts: 850 | Re: headlights dai - 5/11/2006 3:26 AM Are the stoneguards something you made or are they off the shelf? -Dai Dai, the stoneguards I have made myself. Basically it's very simple, I had some disks cut from 4mm Polycarbon sheeting, than modified some U-Clips (50mm) and fix them with a drop of Cyno to the disk. You have to remove the Head lamp trim to fit the Stoneguards. amzimmy (StoneGuard.jpg) Attachments ---------------- StoneGuard.jpg (20KB - 9 downloads) | ||

dai Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Oregon USA Vehicle(s): 300GD 300TD BMW R100RS Landini 80F Posts: 2110 | Stoneguards Amzimmy, Thanks for posting the detail of How You Did It! Excellent idea and execution. I will be on the hunt for clips like that and a source of polycarbonate. I have lost a few H4 lenses to rocks here and these are better than the motorcycle guards that I've seen. Those use little sticky velcro dots to fix the poly lens to the glass front. Cheesy and not enough space between to shield a direct hit. Full marks for that solution, man. Thanks again, -Dai | ||

Posts: 850 | RE: Stoneguards Dai, Rats...........I forgot to tell you that there is a PATENT to the desing! Don't worry.....I am only kidding.......You'r welcom......I have checked the one with the velcro stuff but a) it falls off and b)can be easely pinched! If you have any difficulties I have still some in my CB, so if you want I will send Ciao for now, amzimmy | ||
