Hi Bob
these petitions are indeed available on Family Search - just not indexed nor are they under "Records"
Search in "Catalog"
then under "Place" type in "United States"
scroll down to the 4th page where you will find United States - Naturalization and Citizenship"
under that wil be a drop down of many different curt records - NYC will have Eastern and Southern Districts if you search in the scroll down
- also many other localities.   
Find the court based on your indexcard listing
the armed with your petition number from the index you should be able to locate your record - it will involve trial and error but not too hard

Hope this helps

Hi,

Bob Silverstein asked:

petition and related documents?

Depending on the county, he may be able to leverage the scanned
petitions on FamilySearch. An example of how to do this can be found for
some of the NYC courts, here:
http://www.jgsob.org/KingsNY-naturalizations.html

Bob's signature indicates he is from Illinois. The FamilySearch catalog
at
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog
would be the place to start. As an example, there are 18 recordsets for
United States, Illinois - Naturalization and citizenship
