Pedestal Mount Searchlight

[1943ht]

Came across a searchligt for a 3/4 ton .. probably mounted on the M201 ..does anyone have a pic of the pedestal that bolts to the drivers side fender for this light? Would like to fab a mount for the light. Any assistance would be appreciated!!!!!

Here we go
This is a repro one I bought years ago from Mid west Mil. Its funny I was just talking to my son yesterday about missed deals that I passed in life and one was a original M-201 spotlight mount that I had in my hand but I passed on it as I thought $100 was to much
On edit some pictures shown others came up as links only ???

Bill, Thank You!!!! any chances of some close-ups of the mount and dimensions? Talked to John at the MVPA Convention last week and he stated that he no longer has the pattern for his replica as the gent that made them passed and he was unable to recover the pattern. Believe that this would be a good piece to fabricate but I need some dimensions and pics .. can you assist?

Yep thats it
I sent specs to another member who than made that diagram up on a cad ??
I think the bend angle for the tube is backward, I have the correct one here somewhere, I'll post it if I find it

OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you for the CAD drawing!! You all rock .. Bill, would it be possible to get a close up PIC of the bracket and its attachment point on the mirror? I can FAB from CAD print ... This is most excellent!

On Bill W's webshots page there are a couple shots, from different angles too.



Maybe you could make a few more?

Any updates on how this ended up working out? I have downloaded the CAD drawing, and I procured a spotlight...I was going to go to a local welder and see what he said/get a quote soonish. I'd like to be able to show him some high resolution pictures if you got one made...

I've heard/done nuthin' to it/for it ..... I was hoping someone would start some manufacturing of said mount?
