Looking for a small favour. I have the old style headlight mounts and have purchased the new lowered mounting brackets. Happy with where these fit but I need to drill a hole to push the wires through at the mounting point. Can somebody take a picture of their install and hole dimension (😳) so I don’t mess it up please.

Also any Caterham’s around Berkshire that fancy a drive out, now that the rules have been relaxed slightly?

I don't have the dimensions, but mine was one of the first to have lowered headlight brackets.
This was before the bracket and suspension was mounted:

With bracket in place, the wiring goes into the bracket through the hole in the underside then exits the hole in the suspension mount.

If you don't want to drill the suspension mount then its possible to just cable tie the wiring to the outside of the bracket, it won't be as neat though.

Thanks for this. Looks like I will need to drill the hole that sits just behind the mounting point on the left hand side portion of the mount in the top photo.
