Light Bar Question
I bought this light bar at an auction last night
not that i needed it but three factors that influenced my decision to bid was this. I could see it was a small unit (ssp mustang size) I was with a friend that could take it home (had a truck) and ......wait for it...........no one else was bidding!! So now that i have this here at the house does anyone know if this unit was ever used on any SSP Mustang? Also In doing an EBAY search i found the same unit that had NO lenses (all clear) and the seller stated that the lenses had been removed per EBAY rules

Are you sure it's 46.5? I think the 48" light bar actually measure 47.3 or so. Several of the states used this type light bar on the SSP, although most had the speaker housing in the center.
You can get around the ebay colored lens thing, take a black and white photo and don't mention the color of the lens in the ad. Is this a chain driven model?

I just measured 2 48" jetstrobe bars I have and the top ends do measure 46.5, the curvature of the clear cover actually extends further to make the total length of 47.3.

UP-DATE!
As some of you know i was at an auction recently and picked up a federal signal light bar because it was Mustang size and i won the bid (not much money) and after i got it home checked it out and cleaned it up I was wondering how much fun it would be to be at a car show with the 65 and the 85 side by side So I decided to install it on the Fast Back and i really like how it turned out. I have to tell you i am so tired of people asking me Why the CHP car does not have a light bar but Now at least one of my Mustang's do!

April 1 Three days in the past as of this writing
Going on Four...... I have given this allot a thought and have come to the realization that i spend way too much time on this site. when things on this site slow a bit i try to add something. Tech related or funny stuff (Mustang and or SSP Mustang) related. What i am saying here is my efforts would be better spent on something else or somewhere else. Some people post the same information (text and pictures) on multiple ssp sites, but i have opted to remain loyal to this one. If you hadn't noticed.... my post above this one was posted on April. One....yes humor (imagine that) At this time i would like to thank the Admin. and Moderator's and i wish you and everyone here all the best!

I appreciate your post and found it funny. As for the two sites, I am too new to know any better. I post to both.
Thanks
