Hey guys,
I've been a long time lurker here. I broke my anchor light last year and wanted to replace it with one that was mounted on top of the spool. Some of the solutions out there get REALLY expensive. I spotted this old Wakeworld thread (http://goo.gl/dBZLSG) and am going to do something similar to what John did.
To do it nicely I need to have a new aluminum spool cap made to fit the light, and get a hollow screw to run the wires through. It got me wondering if there would be enough interest to justify having a few sets made. It will certainly make it cheaper for me.

This is what I'm thinking: http://i.imgur.com/5eLE9cf.jpg
I'm set up to use this light: http://goo.gl/L9iAS2, but I could also put in the mounting threads for this light: http://goo.gl/U4GmA5. If 10 people were interested I think it could be done for ~$55, not including the light.
Also, if you can't tell in the picture, I need a new spool. Is there a reasonable place to get these online?
