I have heard it is the wingtip light off a Boeing 747 I think it was. Maybe a 727.

------------------

It is a wingtip lens for a Boeing 747. You can get them from an airplane junk yard, or any airport. You can ask to see someone in maintanence and ask them to order you one. They run about $55.00 new.
You need to go to the side of the airport where the work is done, not the terminal area.

PERFECT! thanks you guys. +'s for ya both

I really wish someone would make these.....
I want one so bad, seen one at the 20th and it was awesome!

If your talking about the scoop itself, Fiero Warehouse bought the IRM molds and is making them.

It's the 17th item down on this page:

If thats a picture of one he is making it sits way to high off the roof compared to the origanl one. really ment make one with the lights ( like the origanl one on the pace car)

Thanks though,

Anthony

The IRM one is the "Original" scoop. It was designed by Diversified Glass. When they close IRM bought the molds, When IRM closed Fiero Warehouse bought the molds. As for height above the roof, It depends on how you trim the base of the scoop. The scoop base needs to be trimmed for the decklid it's mounting to. It is set up to sit 2.5" above the roof (This is how high they were on the race cars) The original pace car was trimmed so the scoop sat 1/4" above the roof. It just depends on how you want the scoop to sit. Also the distance from the rear window is different between cars. The race cars had the scoop where the riser was up against the rear window. (You can't do this if you use the latch method of mounting and if you have a sunroof.) The Indy pace cars were 5" from the rear window (to allow the scoop to unlatch.) And the original instructions from DGP/IRM say to mount it 8" from the window. Pontiac's Racing division are the ones who modded the scoop for the light specifically for the pace car. Nobody ever made the Indy scoop with a light for general sale. Any you see were modified by the person who bought the scoop.

The pic on the Fiero Warehouse website is from my car, I kept the raised height so the scoop still got forced air with the sunroof opened. You do not have to have it at that height. But if you sit it on the roof like the pace car and open the sunroof, You will block the forced air flow.

ok, i have been doing some poking around, and i have not been able to get a picture of the scoop light anywhere on a 747 wing. anyone able to help me out with a little more detail on where exactly on the wing tip it is, and also what specific 747 it is? i have noticed that there are a few different models

I would like to get a set of the ones that fit on each side over air intakes on rear deck and extend over roof like this one, but have the air intake shape of this one! The intake of the ones I am talking about are not as clean a shape as this one...besides I really don't want to modify my deck, and the other ones fit onto the air intake grills already there...Know what I mean.....Does anyone know where you can get a set of the scoops that I am talking about? They shouldn't be that hard to make...I would be willing to pay good money for a set like I described.

"willing to pay good money" and "Fiero owner" don't usually go together. i'll believe it when i see it! :P

Hmmm I see what you mean. I am doing a bit of searching too. Not easy to find.

Here's a couple of links that might help you get on the right trail:

http://www.grimesaero.com/tech_support/datasheets/datasheets_other.html

The links on the page lead to PDF docs. No 747 but darn close...

http://www.grimesaero.com/info/literature/parts_to_platform0302.xls

An Excel spreadsheet with part numbers by model.

And the best link of all, with a junked out 747 and an email address on how to buy parts all on the home page...

Could the name get any better?
