Light globes.

Is there a company in the USA or Canada that still produces 6 volt globes for old Durant cars ect, or do owners convert to more modern globe lighting?

Re: Light Bulbs

Hi Robert....

If you are looking for 6 volt bulbs, antique Ford parts suppliers are a good place to start.

MAC's Antique Auto Parts is a good choice:

I keep pushing this place. Randy had one bulb, box of bulbs or case of bulbs NOS when I visited. Got all the bulbs for Dot plus one spare each kind.

Re: Light globes.

Ken .. you know I went to NAPA outlet in Smiths Falls and they had never heard of water pump packing, nor knew what it was for. Explained that to them. sigh.

Went to TSC across the road and they were out of it. Went to a plumbing shop in Perth and how much do you need and bought a yard of it. They had a tin full of it. Got home and mentioned to the neighbour across from me and he said why didn't you ask me. (retired plumber) Never dawned on me but yes plumbing places still use water pump packing on older taps, motors, farm items.
