Hi,

Seen this for sale fairly local (In the U.K.). Looks like a Streethawk, but I’ve not seen them with the half domes either side of the speaker.
Came off a recovery truck.

Is it a cheap knock off or a European Variant licenced By Federal?


Admin, feel free to move this post if it’s on the wrong section.

Now I want to get an MX frame and cram 3 or 4 center sections in it, just so this monstrosity can be outdone.

Thanks for the replies.
Yea, I wasn’t convinced. But for about £80 ($100) delivered I might just buy it for curiosity sake.

For some reason I find it more appealing now it’s been described as a monstrosity

Are you sure it's a knockoff, seems to me I've seen those parts before in the 28 in versions though without an old point of reference from a catalog I may be mistaken....

The Federal Streethawk grill has slots grouped in series of 5, with bigger slot openings. They also did not use a label such as that. The small sections also are too small to be the standard sections Federal used in their all light configuration.

Now that you mention it, it does almost look like someone grabbed the speaker grille from an MX and wrapped it around that bar.

That's a real oddball. Wolo? Maybe, but the only Wolo bars I've seen advertised are 48 inches wide.
Federal Signal? They did make a Firehawk that was somewhere around 60 inches wide, but it consisted of two outer sections and two center sections plus a slim connector strip between the two center sections.
This doesn't fit either of those two possibilities. I'll say that someone got creative, build-a-bar style.

Just as an update I didn’t get this bar, I’m sure that will bring relief and disappointment all round

I ended up getting this instead. It’s a project, but I’m looking forward to it. Only arrived tonight, but already got a couple of questions. I will start another thread tomorrow when I get it opened up and see it in day light Tomorrow.

Looks good! Streethawks are among the easiest bars to work on. I just totally reconfigured one, and it took like an hour, tops.
