In reply to: Henry Claeys 's message, "Replacement of Corroded Chrome" on 05/ 8/ 04, 5:19am

I have a 1980 FC 35 and I had the same problem. I bought the axle hub caps for the rear wheels at Fleet Supply Co. in Long Beach, CA 562-428-3696. They are part # 339S1 and were $50.00 each. I replaced my spotlight with a new unit and kept the old metal parts if you want to have them rechromed I can send them to you. Contact me at my e-mail address.

Lucas: (1) I'll contact the Longbeach outfit. Thanks for the referral. (2) Did you replace your light with the same material as the original? (2) Perhaps I'm just dreaming, but I was interested in finding something tougher, less subject to rusting, since the item must be outdoors continiously. Is there such a material? (3) If such a replacement material doesn't exist, then I'd be interested in your leftovers so long as I can figure out how to get them rechromed. (4) I'll wait to hear from you...thanks for your response...Henry F. Claeys, 1979 FC35 at claeys@rgv.net

I replaced the light with a new Jabsco light that was a little larger. It will eventually do the same thing unless I clean and wax it regularly, I have a boat so I am used to keeping stainless and chrome cleaned and polished. West Marine in their catolog has three pages of various remote controlled spot lights. Most of them are all plastic. You can also access them on the Web if you do not have a West Marine Store close to you.
