Nice and quirky find today. WW2 car headlight black out cover. Have seen a picture of exact same fitted to an Austin 7. I might adapt this so I can mount a light behind. Future project me thinks. :thumbsup:

That's really cool!!! :thumbsup:
I almost purchased one of these some time back on eBay but the shipping from the UK was around $50.00! :sad:
Congrats!

As a project I'm going to perhaps fix it on a car light but wired for mains? Should look cool if it works :thumbsup:
