re. Installing Euro's on a 4000Q

[Ben Swann]

As Huw says - caveat emptor.  I had assumed when buying a set of Eurolights
that I would have gotten the brackets.  They still weren't cheap and now I
have some expensive glass sitting on a shelf - Who want to spend a day
fabricating brackets - I already spent several hours before throwing in the
towel on these.
