I need the electrical junction boxes for a Hayes visible I am restoring.

One junction box allows a 2 1/2" offset of the electical conduit as it comes out of the main body along side of the cylinder and under the dome.

I also need the junction box loacted under the dome. There are 4 threaded openings. Two for the side lights, one for the globe light and one for the power.

Please let me know if you have these items for sale. Thanks.

Sorry I don't have what you need but both items look restorable. They appear to be cast iron and you repair them by welding. You have to heat them up almost red hot before you weld the parts together. On the junction box you could cut and weld on the missing corner then grind down to match. I know its alot of time consuming work. Just a thought in case you can not find replacements.

I have also done this. I have welded due to the lack of parts available. Just follow the directions stated and let it cool on its own. It should hold great and make a nice piece. Good Luck.

Thanks for the tips. I just assumed it was potmetal and couldn't be fixed. This is the kind of help that makes this such a great site. Total strangers willing to help another collector. Thanks.
