Dome Light between seats and 2.8L Ford V6

Dome Light between seats and 2.8L Ford V6

2006-11-18 by hide809rig169

Does anyone know the source of the dome light between the seats on 
Marcos cars?  It has a clear magnifier in the middle and some type of 
bezel.  What did this come out of, or is there a good replacement?  
Also, anyone have the Ford V6 2.8L in their car?  This engine has the 
distributor in the back.  I'm curious if anyone has had luck with any 
modifications to this engine and what they are doing for cooling 
(radiators). 
                 Thanks, Steve V. in Arizona USA

Hi Steve,

The donor car was a English Van -Bedford??- the lights are since years 
not available and if find one in EBAY they go for extremly high prices.

Tom - the German Fiberglas Guru - reproduced the glass of the dome 
lights including the magnifier last year and you can buy them for 35 
Euro including VAT. Shipping to USA should not be the problem.

I myself have one plate with switch for the dome light, so perhaps you 
can get it together it you want.

Does anyone know the source of the dome light between the seats on
Marcos cars? It has a clear magnifier in the middle and some type of
bezel. What did this come out of, or is there a good replacement?
Also, anyone have the Ford V6 2.8L in their car? This engine has the
distributor in the back. I'm curious if anyone has had luck with any
modifications to this engine and what they are doing for cooling
(radiators).

Steve,

Do you need the whole light assembly or just the lens?  I believe I 
have a lens somewhere around the garage.   Let me know.
