Hi y'all! It's been a while, but getting little things done while truck is in hibernation. Anybody know where I can find a new dome lens for the roof light?
It's 8.25" dia. including the flange on bottom, 7.5" inside bottom dia. And 5.75" high. Mines a Dominion Electric, but expect there's US equivalents too.

Thanks!
Mike A

Mike, You may have better luck putting an ad up in the Truck Parts Wanted forum. wink

It would also help if you can provide more details on what year/model# your Dominion Electric light fixture is and add a picture to see if folks may be able to offer help tracking a lens down. smile

Post a picture of your existing lens.

It would also help to know what color lens you need (Red, Amber, Blue or Clear).

So I finally got a chance to get pictures.. the nameplate should give all the details.
Took a mold of it, may try acrylic stretching over it or even a two part pour... never tried either before, but just not right with a busted up old lens.

Your beacon light tag look like it reads "Federal Enterprises Inc."...that was Federal Signal's name from about 1950 to 1955. Do some research and see if the Federal Model 17 Beacon light has the same dimensions.

The Siren Man has lots of pictures and he may have what you need...
