Default Cam Lamp pics..

As requested a few pics of my cam-lamp with my tore up F14.
Tig'd to a stock pulley that was painted black. Then drilled hole so wiring was hidden coming out of the back. Machined an adapter to fit the top of the cam where the cam bolts up thats threaded down the center with lamp thread. Ran wiring down the center of the cam, and threaded the lamp socket in. The shade style is dependant on the type of socket you get, be it threaded on top, or other varients.

I know Brain's has made a few things with LS1 parts, what do you have?
I want to take a 3.5" prostar and weld three cams together and make a floor lamp, or use an axle and a cam or something and make one.
Pic quality looks bad, it looks pretty nice in person and doesnt look out of place.

Turbo'd Stang did the welding for me one night at the shop.
I couldn't stick two pieces of gum together, much less weld.

I'll make a few if someone wants one, they are fairly easy to make with JB weld or whatever, but I like things done a little nicer, hence the machined plate up top and so on...

LS1 cams are perfect for that. They have the hidden wire option.

Now you know what to pick up if you have an intruder.
