Don't know. Could use a few myself but never worried about it. If
you do get water in there, you also want it to be able to air out.

Don't know this either. Never worried about it. My Spitfire will
never will a concourse award...

Like Greecian Formula 16, only different?

I always assumed the map light was standard but dealer-installed. It
isn't a flexible mount though. Rather, it has two elbow joints at a
90 degree angle from each other, with click detents at 0, 45, 90,
135, and 180 degrees. One joint is near the mount, the other is
where the light itself attaches to the short shaft. The inner joint
acts as a switch, breaking the ground contact when it is pushed up to
0 or 180 degree position. These lights used to available from places
like JCWhitney.
The speaker in the glovebox was also probably dealer-installed. If
you want one for completeness, you can have mine. It looks like it
would be useful strictly for an old-sound AM radio, certainly not
modern hi-fi!
