TOPIC: need help finding pieces for my redfish

first one is the lens for the rear anchor light lens or how i can make one also where i can find a sending unit for a aquameter spedometer sending unit or if a new sending unit for a speedometer will fit also where i can find or make lenses for the navigation light

rear anchor light that i need a lens for

navigation light and extra spedometer

Pitot tubes (pickup unit for speedo) are available from the usual boat supply places. (West Marine, iBoats.com, Wholesale Marine, etc.) If you want a "period correct" piece, I know Joe at www.fergusonpoolemarine.com/ had some not long ago.

Can you post pics of the lights you need lenses for? It would help greatly in finding the proper replacements.

i don't have any real good ones will get some next week when i go back down to my aunts house here is a link to what pictures i have it is the rear stern light and front light also wondering if the engine is six volt or twelve volt know it is a 1958 johnson super seahose 35hp

thanks thad
