Default Light bar help - pics inside

So I ordered the drag specialties bar which is installed - then I try to mock the spots and bingo there's a problem. The flange that comes with it just rolls of the side. What can I do to mount these so I don't have to send them back?

From what I can tell by the pics, looks like you could make or get a flat washer the same OD or a little bigger than the loose flange and use it between the flange and light bar.Good luck.

My thoughts exactly. Hit Home Depot tomorrow and look around. If not I have to exchange them and they look good so I am hoping not to do that

But not between the flange and light the flange is the issue. It's opening at the bottom is too wide

Put the washer on top of the mounting tab, and then bolt the light through the washer. So... light, flange, washer, lightbar mounting tab.

Yea,, I read the book about Steve Jobs & Steve said in the book that early on back in the day that a lot of his ground breaking ideas that he came up with on electronics & computers came to him while he was doing LSD . Good looking job you did .
