Can some one please measure the distance between the center of the fog light and the center of the mounting tab hole. Hopefully this photo that I found here on 914 world will help depict the dimension that I need.

On my 1971, it's right at 3.5"....possibly a hair less.
Should get you in the ball park.

Based on that dimension this is what I came up with. I think that I will make the body mount half of my bracket a slot.

For those of you that have already back dated your bumpers & fog lights how did you attach the fog light to the body? Unless someone has a better idea I will most likely use a rivet nut.

Very nice Craig. This would have made my life a lot easier than making my own. Also yours appear to have more adjustability

Harpo thanks, I would have been happy to supply you with a couple of brackets. I include these with the Pilot Driving Lites that I sell on the CAMP 914 site. But I have a few extra so I thought I would add this post to let people know that they are available separate. I can always take this to the classifieds.
