I ordered a replacement lighthead for the driver's side as the red LEDs were u/s. When they arrived, I got two lightheads. Unfortunately, the replacements were all red and all blue, not the two colour version. I ended up purchasing the replacements. (Less hassle with postage etc and I have my own spares if need be.)

u/s??

A couple more pics.

Siren and replacement lighthead installation is complete. Hose reel branch now secured with a "Quick Fist" clamp.

No other work has been has been carried out. (None really needed...) I guess a GPS and mobile phone holder could be added but that's just more expense. (And I could get myself a nice base station rig for HF to replace the FT-100 I have...

)

The guy who sold it to me told me it was ex Wanneroo and ex Parky. I'm not going to doubt him. LOL

Anyway, she looks good for a 14 year old. Thanks for the complements. Just got an email today saying that the new Hilighter mini light bars have been sent by courier. :D:D

Well I think you have done a fantastic job and a lot of loving hours into it, are you a VFB person and can it not be used to fight a fire, if maybe Fesa pay for the costs etc, ?? jj

It looks very nice.
When you compare it to the first pictures, when you first got it, there is a hell of a change. It looks a lot better with the yellow and red reflective striping compared to the red and orange stripping it first came with.
Keep up the good work, and hopefully it won't get much use!(well maybe just a little)
