You might be able to find one in a bone yard somewhere (I've seen some). You will have no problem reading with the light these throw out and no one would even know you made a modification to your Westy. I wouldn't mind getting one for my 86. They changed to a three lightbulb light and it isn,t as good. > > > Todd Francis tbf@pacifier.com '86 Westy Syncro Vancouver, Wa
