Default MkII Carrier Tail/Rear Light Pictures

Does anyone out there have some pictures of a MkII rear tail light? I can't seem to find anything in the reference books. I see it in the wiring diagrams in our manual but nothing that is illustrated or shows what it looks like.
Thanks,

Default Unless I forget..

it's a normal CMP tail light with a red plastic lens. I think the original had a woven wire cover outside the wiring.

Default MkII tail light position

Peter, thank you for the response. I happen to have a red CMP rear light. Where do you think it was mounted on the rear of a MkII? Again, I haven't seen a picture of a tail light on a MkII so any information you have would be helpful.

Here is a rear end of a MkII, and it shows you were it isnt. So it has to be at the top of the tool board somewhere, buried by the folding down of that lid. have a look at the back of this Mortar carrier. I think it is mounted at one of the two bolt holes that are enpty, at the top of the tool board.

Default Tail Light Positioning

Lynn,

Thanks for the pictures. I now have a good idea of where I'm going to put it. We hope to have our Legion MkII carrier operational for the Huntsville Rembrance Day parade on Nov. 11th.

Attached are four photos of the tail light on the rear of a MkII carrier with towing attchment. At the side of the hood there is a hole for a toggle switch(which is not fitted) for remotely turning the light off.
