Default Cheap hopup idea and mini quiz in one!

I have just recieved my new head lights for my savage. I never bothered with them before because of all the trouble with excess wiring and batteries but now they have wireless ones which i thought looked cool so i brought some off Ebay for £18 cus the sellar said you cannot get them from anyone but him. Take a look at the pics below to take part in the quiz. The first pic is of the light (there are two in the set)all you need to do is find them for sale on the net or in a shop (cant cost more than £3-£4 max)and buy 2 of them. Now for the special bit, this is the reason that the seller on ebay said you cant get this hopup anywhere else which i took to mean that he had designed and built the mounts himself. Look at the second pic and see if you can guess what it is made from (i will give you a clue i have brought one for less than 20 pence) answers on the back of a postcard to cheeky ebay sellar or alternativly just leave a post here. LOL
P.S these lights fit in exactly the same place/screw holes as the standard plastic lighs on the front of any savage

I will give you guys another few clues.
1. Its nothing to do with RC.
2. You should be able to pick it up from any hardware store
3. The screws dont come with it and you will have to drill holes through it yourself
4. Its made of plastic

Here's some more pics to make it easier

Ok if you wanna take the fun out of it!

Its a radiator pipe holder. The type you screw to the wall to hold the flow and return pipes when you have a long run of pipe and dont want it to sag. Happy now? Spoilsport. LOL

Why dont yuo read the first post again. It quite clearly says find them on the net. There is no way this dude on Ebay has designed them himself so therefore he is buying them in from somewhere else. I cant be bothered to look cus i have some already but they have "mini cyber-lite written on one side and "ring" written on the other. Oh and they look like they have come off a keyring.

yeah they are really bright and because they are LED's they should be really hard to break. If you can get them i would really advise it as it is a cool hopup without any hassle
