light cages by Dormobile
Ah!! Robin,
Just could not let the light thing go, had to find out what, where, and why. I now have pic's that were takenby the previous owner, before the removal of doors and wings

Ah!! Robin,
Just could not let the light thing go, had to find out what, where, and why. I now have pic's that were taken by the previous owner, before the removal of doors and wings But still cant fathom the front side light thing (single front light pod) that was supplied with the wings must have come from a series two before indicators were invented. Cant beat a good mystery ... Jock ...

The wing top light mounting brackets were available for both Dormobiles and Carawagons to allow jerry cans to be mounted vertically in front of the wings.

Re: light cages by Dormobile
G'day chap's, for a change now the chain on the horn pull is finished along with the rear canopy including the wiring i turned my thoughts on a temporary basis to the side lights and indicators as per the single light pod one pictured so i dug myself some alloy out and had a play at bending using heat and fairy liquid.
Because i would like the shape of the pictured pods but in double form i think my best way of doing it would be to make a wooden shaped pod first then with my body repair tools and small flame thrower apply the fairy liquid so when the flame turns the area black start tapping .
Unfortunately i leave my welding to those more confident than myself which is a bit of a devil because i have the kit but making something from someone else's scrap/junk is another one of my hobbies but my memory lets me down a tad so as usual i talk on here not that i get any responses mind but some how it helps me unravel my scrambled mind and i can go forward very much like my other posts.

Hi Jock & Brad - you might have seen THIS THREAD about a Dormobile for sale in the USA which has double light pods.
There are some close-up pictures of the pods on his flickr album such as this one HERE
Cheers,
