The flex mount map light (rally map light) is made by Butler and is not a Hella piece. Very popular amongst the rally crowd in the 60's. Make sure the tension is still good in the stalk, otherwise you end up with a limp light that droops down. Only good in that condition for show, not for glow. No magic fix (Viagra) to give a worn out stalk it's rigidity back. Bulb replacement is simple, on/off switch can also be sourced if needed.

Brad,

That's interesting. Can you give me more specific info on where the holes in the engine wall would be. I'll check tomorrow for the holes in the bumper.

Brad,

Can you give me more specifics where the 12mm holes in the engine side wall would be. You've stirred my curiousity.
