Hi All,
Ever tried to find six volt bulbs for an old motorcycle? I can tell you
it hasn't been a picnic for me! It took four tries before I found a
simple "bayonet" base bulb for the speedo of the Falcone I've been
working on. I still need a bulb for the "key in/on" indicator light
which is cylindrical and about 1" - 1 1/8" in length. A British car
website I found called it a "festoon" style whatever that is. It's glass
in the middle with pointed metal caps on either end. Only thing it says
on it is that it's 6 volt and 1.5 watts. One from a VW Beetle interior
light is the right type but too long. Any ideas? Trying to get this bike
ready to ride on the upcoming "Nostalgia Run" Sept. 7th in Thurmont, MD.
Thanks,
Charlie.
