[FC] FC Spotlight Accessory

[Paul Steinberg]

That appears to be the standard 5" or 6" round spotlight that was common for 
many years.  don't know what the bracket is, but if you want, you can remove 
the spotlight, unscrew the 2 screws holding the spotlight to the windshield 
pillar, and there will be a part number on the backside.  Usually it is a 2 
digit number followed by a L for left, and a R for right hand use.  I can 
also supply the mounting bracket if you send me the part number.  Actually, 
I would like to know the part number for my own FC.   If anyone wants one of 
these spotlights, I probably will have a few.  I will need to take some 
measurements off my FC to make sure that the shaft length is correct.   Too 
short, and it will hit the dash.  Too long, and it will be too close to the 
steering whee.  Personally, I like the windshield pillar mounting best.
