yo. is this one close? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26448&item=2452653223 - budda is my light
i have seen the one for the 1960 for $225 from classic boat connection. glad i have a spare.  perko made most of the lights, but i would keep searching. all the new ones are plastic junk. the diverter is broken on the 69 and 72 and i have yet to come across any of those. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=146&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - promo http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=192&yrstart=1925&yrend=1970 - #2 |

Kenny,
If you've got access to a West Marine, etc., store, go in and ask to look thru the Perko sales catelog, as they carry many more items than West Marine or Boat US carry in their yearly book(s). Can't say for sure that they'll have it there, but it's worth a check. The same is true for stern lights, as I know they carry a nice chrome version of the now-black plastic and alum model. Also, if you hound me, I'll look up the name of a company outside of Detroit which has gobs of stuff like this as well as other hardware such as NOS gauges, etc.. I'd still like an outlet or source for a good vintage looking steering wheel. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |
