Somewhere out there is a company that makes a similar foot but it has two pins per foot and a some of us have owned these. We keep looking but we cannot find them.

A company called Raydyot used to make them.

Raydyot also used to make aftermarket driving lights and racing mirrors among other things. Raydyot's streamlined spun aluminium racing mirrors were the dog's bollocks, and people still hanker after them.

The car accessory market for this sort of thing took a nosedive in the seventies and eighties - back then, you could replace glass headlight units which fitted loads of different makes with off-the-shelf ones like Cibié or Hella.

Cibié lights were great. All the best rally cars had a footy ground floodlight-sized array of Cibié spotlights. I'm sure Stig Blomqvist had Cibiés on his Saabs, and if he didn't, I bet he wished he had.

They had white covers with Cibié written on them to stop them being bust by flying stones when it wasn't night time.

I replaced the headlights on several cars with Cibiés, including those on a 1980 Honda Accord. There were four; a pair of dips/mains and a pair of mains only. I did the lot. They really were miles better than the ones that it came with.

And they said Cibié on the front, obvs. You could point the nifty French writing on the lenses out to anyone who was interested.

A lot of people would have been, but I didn't meet any of them myself.

I'd go out of my way to drive down unlit country roads at night just so's I could turn them all on at once.

Anyway.

For some weird reason Raydyot expanded their portfolio into caravan steady feet before being bought out by an American outfit called Clarience Technologies in 2000.

And that, apparently, was that. No more feet.

Raydyot's feet are brilliant, but you just can't get them any more. They are so rare that you'll struggle to find any photographs of them on Google, let alone be able to buy any.

I did find the picture below, but it took a while.

If only the bloke who was selling these second hand had known just how rare they are he could probably have retired to Gran Canaria on the proceeds.

I managed to get a set a few years ago.

I plan on being interred with them.
