Here's the POSSIBLE scenario:
My vollie dept's second out engine is an '86 Mack CF/Pierce that has a 48" Edge on top. The chief works part time on a tow truck and his son-in-law, who's also on the dept, works the tow truck full time. One of the rollbacks' 60" Towman's Edge is on it's last leg for the tow company they work for. So, if they get a new (to them) lightbar, I might be able to acquire the 60" frame to put on the Mack.
What I'm looking at is some serious upgrading from the standard ZFO style strobe power supply (not even sure if that's correct, been a LOOOONG time since I've messed with older Edge power supplies) to some EB6 power supplies or whatever the current style is to make it into a 10 or 12 head Edge for the Mack. My questions are:
1) What is the length of the older style linear strobes meant to mount inboard in an Edge bar?
2) Did Whelen even make a seperate inboard helix style strobe, or were they only part of the three housing assembly which included the corner? If that was made, what's it's length?
3) Can current style power supplies be wired AND mounted in (probably what's being used in the 9M style bars now)?
4) In the 60" Towman's bar, is there only room to mount two power supplies?
