Question:
What size rivets should I use on the optronics thin line mounting base? I have one base that is broke on our horse trailer and figured I should replace them all at once and get it out of the way. Do you have these rivets?

Expert Reply:
It is not necessary to use rivets for installation of the Optronics Thin Line Series Light Mounting Bracket # A65PB, or the chrome version # A67CB. You can use stainless steel sheet metal screws like # 1172904 or pretty much any hardware that suits your installation location. Both brackets use mounting holes on 3-inch centers and the holes are 1/4-inch in diameter.

This comment is about the Glolight MCL165AB and the mounting bracket A65BP . I installed 8 of these this week on my 20'tiltbed Doolittle 14 K trailer. I must be really missing something regarding the 2 screws used mount this bracket. The lights are excellent. I like them a lot. However the mounting brackets I received have almost NO clearance between the back of the light and the mounting holes on the bracket. There is no room for the screw head. I could not use any round head or self tapping screw. If you do, you will not be able to click the light into the base. I had to use a #8 flathead machine screw with a nylon insert nut. Because of this, I ran a common ground wire with an individual ring connector to each light to ground light. I did not see any review about this. Maybe I am the only one who had this problem. Any screw which has a head of more that 1/16" above the mounting hole would not work. Maybe I ordered the wrong base, but it was the one listed on the page with the MCL165AB.
