Porch light rennovation (or intact original)

The original half-cylindar porch light seems to have three pieces: the main aluminum fixture which houses the electrical, the round glass piece and another top aluminum piece which connects to the main housing and secures the glass.

I have the main piece but am missing the other two.

If anyone has the other pieces (or has an intact light) I would be interested in making a deal. Alternatively, if anyone knows where I can have these pieces fabricated, I'd love to know the details.

If you look at the lights in this photo, the one I'm trying to describe is on the far left:

Hi,

I couldn't get the photo link you gave to work. Can you double-check and post any corrections?

Thanks.

Try this, Jake.

I got it to load, but I can't make out the light from this photo. It's too far away.

I'm also looking for a front porch light and was hoping this photo would show the style I'm looking for.

Hi,

You can get a piece of obscure plastic from a plastic store and the cap you could use sheet metal. I would guess you could cut a ducting cap in half but you would neet to look at your local Hardware store. You don't need much a the top to screw it down and hold it together.

Thanks for the link, Tracy. I can see the house but I agree that it's hard to make out the lights.

Eero, is it really the one on the far left (uppermost floor) you are trying to replace? From the picture, it kind of looks like those wall sconces that are of bullet or flare shaped. Kind of like a motion light...

I looked at the other "house" pictures, and I think this one might be clearer of the bottom floor lights:

If it's the ones on the either side of the bottom sliding doors, the plastic bulb cover is different, but otherwise it kind of looks like this model from Progress Lighting:

Eero, can you clarify which light you're looking for?

Thanks.
Jake

P.S. If you've already found what you need, just post saying that and I won't bother you further.
