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 expensiveI 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?
