Adding Lucas L594 to new cafe seat.
« on: December 28, 2010, 11:01:45 AM »
Thinking about getting one of these to put on my new cafe seat I'm making. I had an old Evinrude cowling for a 4hp laying around and thought it would be perfect for a cafe seat back. I want to place a small round light and love the look of the Lucas l594 beehive light. Question is, how will this work with the three wires I have now as the Lucas only has 2? I figure that Id need a dual element bulb, but that is as far as my little brain go.  Any suggestions?

Here are some pics from the other day.  I have since expanded the front on the cowl to 10 in to better fit the seat rails, and laid three layers of glass to hold it  at that width. Seat pan is gonna be made out of Divynicell and glassed as well.

The old-fashioned Lucas beehive type rear lamps (identified over here as Lucas MT110 and MT211) are available as replicas converted to take a twin filament rear and brake light bulb.
They cost about US $35 from Vehicle Wiring Products (stock numbers W19236 and W19234) -- email sales@vehicleproducts.co.uk, website www.vehicle products.co.uk. The company handles export orders, no problem.
