Origins
Canada built carriers for the U.K. using many parts sent from the U.K. specifically for that purpose. This included most of the electrical components.

I can feel your pain when it comes time to remove the armour remnants.....i used a thin slitting disc and took the heads off the rivets from the inside then used an air hammer with a pick and knocked them out from the inside.... i used a large bolster chissle beteen the armour and the angle bar to put preasure on the plate.....when they let go they do so with a bang...... the more stubborn rivets can be blown out with a oxy torch from the outside. either way get the first aid kit to standby....i finished with some slashed hands....and thanks to my pal Phil i had a large crowbar smashed into my face.....gotta love ya friends har har har.......its best to do the job with a pal...Fraz and I cleared the remains off mine in a day or two....
PS i prefer the lucas lamps they look much nicer buddy. I cant wait to see this one progress !

Data plate
Nice to see that serial number [TL 230F] 3 , 1941, the plate on my carrier [TL13F] 3 , 1941 and a photo stat the late Bill Gregg sent me of a brass data plate[only] that he had 6 , 1941 serial 1806 . If you go by these numbers they were really ramping up production in early 41. The late Peter Ford wasn't sure on the TL [Tankette Light ?] , never found anything on paper. Best pic I have of my data plate at this time.
