    You could also make a wedge out of a piece of either flat steel stock or aluminum. You've got that big old belt sander, so you could first make a template out of wood to see how it fits, then duplicate it in the steel or aluminum. Just another avenue to think about.

    Doggone it Brian, now ya got me worried if my Gennie light bar really fits as well as I recall - tho I do think it fits better then yours shows. My recollection was that it fit my Wescott fenders nicely after enlarging the mounting holes a fair amount in the 'glass.

    A note - I hope you are going to use something like the Lokar wire loom and not those ugly, IMHO, light bolts

    Looks like putty would work nicely. I was thinking 'mighty putty'.

    It would work good for that, you can drill it andpaint it also etc ...........

    the A&B is sold under manley magic seal epoxy# 40187 the stuff works good and i work it with a small steel pocket ruler with it wetted with lacquer thinner and clean up with thinner. works a bit thicker then modeling clay this stuff works good but try to get it warm first not hot this helps mix the two parts it and work it good make sure it mix well
