Default scale roll over bar

Does anyone know of a scale roll bar that I can fit some fog lights to?

I've just got a longbed Chevy K10 and have decided to needs a roll bar with some working lights on it to finish it off. I've done a search on the forum and looked around on eBay, but with no luck. Ideally it needs to be no wider that 140mm.

Can any of you scale guys point me in the right direction?

Any help welcome

Thanks,
Simon

Rollbar on the F-350 is about 140mm on it's widest point at the base (where it bolts to the bed)...

Or you can make your own just how you like it to be ?

Thanks guys, like the look of the clod version, the 350 item has too many pipes for my liking. Thanks for the help

I thought there would be specialist shops for scale ones of these...

Yes they are the standard lamps that come with the F-350 HL. I've upgraded the F-350 with the MFC-02 unit here but any 3mm LED will do fine, you just need some resistors and a power source.

More here if you like: Cable hide @ HL rollbar.
