Lucas glass
Thanks Lynn,
I don't ever remember glass lenses like that here in Manitoba at any of the flea markets or junk shops but at least now I know what I am looking for.Maybe Richard can help me out when he can check in his attic or I will contact the lead that Paul has listed.I am in no rush for one but would like to complete it at some point.I will still have to find another headlight before I put them on my carrier. Regards,Derk.

carrier headlights
Hi, Can anyone confirm please if the canadian built Mk1 carrier, 1943 mortar carrier would of been fitted with the Lucas/CAV style headlights?, Whenever I look at a carrier I first look at the headlights to see if it is British or Canadian built as a first spot. But correct me if I am wrong the Canadian illustrated parts manual FUC-03 has both lights featured, The standard type with the flat backs and the CAV/Lucas type, could I put the CAV type on a Canadian carrier?. If correct then I have been looking at alot of carrier pics thinking they were British but really Canadian?.
help?

If you check the Cdn parts manual I believe it will give the cut-off serial number for the Lucas headlamps. It was fairly early in production that the Lucas headlamps were replaced by the Cdn style headlamps, and it would have been common to replace the oddball lucas assy with the Cdn standard lamp as a replacement part once the vehicle was in service.
I don't have my manual available right now, but the change to Cdn lamps would have been in the first few thousand carriers, if even that many. All 1943 carriers would have had the Cdn lamps, as would most 1942 carriers.
