Here we go
This is a repro one I bought years ago from Mid west Mil. Its funny I was just talking to my son yesterday about missed deals that I passed in life and one was a original M-201 spotlight mount that I had in my hand but I passed on it as I thought $100 was to much aua
On edit some pictures shown others came up as links only ???

Bill, Thank You!!!! any chances of some close-ups of the mount and dimensions? Talked to John at the MVPA Convention last week and he stated that he no longer has the pattern for his replica as the gent that made them passed and he was unable to recover the pattern. Believe that this would be a good piece to fabricate but I need some dimensions and pics .. can you assist?

I think the bend angle for the tube is backward, I have the correct one here somewhere, I'll post it if I find it

Any updates on how this ended up working out? I have downloaded the CAD drawing, and I procured a spotlight...I was going to go to a local welder and see what he said/get a quote soonish. I'd like to be able to show him some high resolution pictures if you got one made...
