Whelen Rotabeam Light Bar

[wfdstation42]

Here is a Whelen Rotabeam light bar I got on *bay. It was missing mounts and 1 lens was broke into many pieces. It appears to have been a 52" bar that someone cut down to 48". I cleaned it up, painted the bar, modified some FedSig mounts to fit the bottom slot and added some generic gutter mounts I had. The darker lens is 1 that came with the bar and is seriously crazed, the other I got from member dmathieu (thanks Dan).

That's correct, which is why I mentioned it was missing the mounts and I added some generic gutter mounts I had.

That Twin Model 44 configuration is one of my favorite bars.


I'l keep an eye out for brackets an feet for you.

You do love your rotabeams.

They are my favorite.


By the way I almost bought that bar. From New Hampshire, right?
