My dad has a couple of the older mirror lights. Some have LTD written in chalk on them and some have Caprice on them. The plate that screws into the headliner is probably angled differently on each car.

Thanks for the replies. My headliner has the original holes and they match up to the bracket. The bracket and light came off another SSP Mustang but I did not take it off and putting it on the way I'm guessing it should be causes the light to strike the windshield. I just don't want to have to cut the bracket to modify it to fit, but I'll figure something out.

The " cone " or metal box that the actual red light sits in behind ( shield ) had a vacume line sliced and pushed onto the shield as a gasket so to speak for the shield to rest against the windshield. IF that is what you are talking about.
It acted as a vibration - rattle stop and kept the shield in place against the windshield.

So yes, the shield does rest against the windshield. The shield rests over, or slides over and onto the red light and should be attached ( or held in place ) behind the red light with a spring that goes from left to right on the back of the shield.

The shield is just a light blocker, so it directs the red light forward instead of to the sides, up and down when it is on. It has no support function at all.

Was that the original question you were asking me about ?
If you need pictures, pm me your email address. I'll get some close up pics for you.
Hope that helps some ?

NICE ! That looks correct. Shotguns were ( are ) Remington 870 All black, they have been parkerized.

I can get you the info for the CHP ammo pouch that goes on the stock of the shotgun.
They are about $60.00 with shipping.
They are leather and have CHP stamped on them. Black.

Shotgun shells are red, buck shot.

It looks really nice ! Good job !
