Convoy Axle Light

[Jordan Baker]

Thanks Rob

So is the light socket part the same on both ends?

Also thanks for straigtening out the cover, Those last pictures made much more sense then the first ones to me.

Yes, although it may not look it by my photo. The rubber plug that would have little spring loaded springs is presently pushed too far to the back. When centered it should have a mirror image, just enough to accept the small 6 volt bulb with two contacts. The armoured cable that attaches to it would also have the same two pin contact.

If you look back at that ebay convoy conduit and cable, you will see the two pin plug attached to the same socket (13419 with nut 13423) that I have right now. The only thing that one of ebay needs now is the washer, the adapter, and the remainder of a regular truck lamp.

Robe, Great stuff, another mystery solved.

Just to complete the system, here's the toggle switch that flips between the red tail lamp and the white disc lamp and its bracket. It mounts on the left side in the spring loop between the rear of the battery box and the license plate panel. You can just make it out in the last pic.

Bruce: Does the switch bracket have the part number Co1UC 100146 on it?

By the way, I have not forgot your request (along with others) for the drawing on the bracket. I have it here on my desk now, but I left my digital calipers in the shop, so will retrieve them tomorrow. After that, the bracket will travel on it's world tour to the UK.

Here is another view of the switch. I think this is even the same carrier.

I thought I would mention as well that Brian Asbury has the convoy lamp body (the bushing but, tube, spring and lense with gasket) listed on his parts lists. You would still have to find the socket, nut and washers to complete the assembly. The part number for the sub assembly listed on BCA's part list is CO1UC 100145B.

Alternatively you could go the easy way out. Make the hole bigger in the convoy lamp bracket and use a CMP truck marker lamp assy. A guy would have to be underneath the carrier with a mirror to see the difference.
