yeah but unit would be me saying your contraption what bar what screws what cables used and where you got it ?

[eklikewhoa]

I've use ss tubes and bend them... drill ends to house eyelets and then run cables from there to the light.

Nicest I've seen/done and you can paint the tubes to match.

What kind of wire did you suspend the light with ?

[eklikewhoa]

the light hanging kind.......

i think that i used 3/8" OD x .049" wall thickness SS tubing before. That should have an ID of .277" which should be loose enough for you to get a 1/4"-20 taper tap to start in so that you can thread hardware into the ends. why paint it when its all shiney and stuff? shimmah!
