Right, after the required "FT" once-over, I'd remove the strap (probably
quite easily looking at the condition) and hook up a badge bar mounting clip
and attach it to the rear and the top most bar on my Amco (sp?) luggage
rack. I'd also like it to "flash" off and on (that might take of itself
though), and if there was a nice small Lucas air raid siren I could get that
would go off simultaneously, then I'd feel real safe at night.....
