PHANTOM II CENTRE LAMP BRACKET.

Re. Centre Lamp Bracket D.72404 (stiffer section and thicker gauge than standard).

We have tested out one of the above brackets using a Grebel spot lamp. There is less dithering than with the standard bracket, but still it is insufficiently stiff.

To make a reasonably stiff job it will be necessary for the bracket to be as stiff again as the bracket D.72404 is stiffer than the standard one.
