Driving Light Brackets Are BACK
Okay, so here’s the back story on these MINI Cooper Driving Light Brackets. Once upon a time there was a company that made a few MINI accessories in their garage in northern Ohio. One of the products were driving light brackets that were sold in pairs and were very popular because they could be mounted in various locations across the front bumper structure and also allowed 2 vertical mounting locations. After a while the company decided to stop making them and close the business. Throughout this Out Motoring had been selling them and had also been designing a variant that had some design changes that seemed appropriate. When the original design had faded away, I put more effort into making the new design a reality using the production companies we were familiar with using instead of the garage made system as the supplier had used. The new design allows for 3 vertical mounting positions and has a very unique build style that allows a thinner, lighter material to used while offering the same strength. Gott love working with PROe and using CAD data to allow for testing of products before they are even made!
So, finally about 1 month ago I got the revised CAD data completed by a good friend and degreed mechanical engineer who shall remain nameless (but not forgotten). After a series of tweaking and redesigning, etc., the new bracket design was emailed off to a good production shop and 3 weeks later, I was holding the first batch. Although the process of designing and making them is similar to making cookies, you simply cannot eat these, but it is a good feeling to see them sitting in a box fresh from the powder coating facility all nicely wrapped as if each one was some sort of bakers delight.
So, here they are world. Check them out, only this time, they are my design with the Out Motoring brand!
