Foglight mounting bracket broken off 700 1989

Well, there is a cheaper and easy fix-it solution. If you go to your local hardware store and find some galvanized steel stock (approx 1/8" thick... 1" wide any length you need with 3/8" holes placed every inch or so.) Also buy 3 sets of bolts w/ lock washers and nuts... if you ask your local hardware store ppl they can help you. (I work at ACE in Wisconsin.) Then cut the stock with a hack saw about 6" - two pieces... however length to get the lights to sit in the same pos as before. Then pos the two pieces of stock in a "V" so that the top of the "v" is at the bolt locations of the orig. harness. Then position the two pieces over each other so that the last two holes meet up creating the V... bolt the foglight to this end... tada.. you may need some washers and longer bolts to get the foglight positioned vertically correctly... but I did this to both of my fogs 2 yrs. ago and they're still holding strong... no rust either!
