As noted in my previous post the fret of lamp brackets is truly beyond my capabilities. A decent desk light from Maplins helped to prove this as I could actually see that it wasn't going to work out to my satisfaction. The lamp brackets on the Dean Goods require an L shaped piece of brass which is then bent twice, one on each limb, to create the required shape. The fitting is then glued with CA to the front of the buffer beam. Well, this is the theory. In practice I simply could not get it to work. So, sadly, I have given up. Lamp brackets are important add ons, though, so something will have to be done. Maybe, as noted in the last post, I can simply use some 0.7 or 0.5 mm wire. This will require drilling a hole for each bracket into the front of the buffer beam, then adding a simple 90º bent piece of wire. One bend instead of three should be simpler! And the one hole can always be filled in if it doesn't work. Enough for this evening, try again tomorrow!
