Brent B3B Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) I don't know the official name, but I call it the "parking light bucket" I think it might be one of those parts different people call it different things Edited December 21, 2016 by Brent B3B photo deleted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I don't have my parts manual handy but those are sometimes available on ebay. As mentioned they are often missing and can get a bit pricey. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinsailor Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Guess I messed up. Couple years ago I took a pair, sandblasted them, filled pits, primed and gave them to an older guy in the area that needed them. Didn't realize I was giving away gold!

Or you could just look at it as doing someone a good deed. It doesn't always have to be about how much money you can get for something.
