I'm after a photo of the conduit layout for the light guard gunners side light which is closer to the centre line where the metal conduit comes through the inside and down to hook up with the cross tube all the photos I have are for the out board light guards ..

Default like this?

dale, an assortment of pics of various BGC.
There are 2 different build states, the hole through the armour is centrally located or located inboard.
This also has an effect on the mudguard, light centrally mounted or mounted inboard.

The conduit was individually made/installed by each manufacturer, how they routed the pipe from the light down under the front gun mount was different.
Some have unique bent pipe, others use a number of 90deg elbows.
