Funnily enough, I picked some of these up as trailer connectors. Looking at them I'd have to go with soldering, but you're right it looks really finicky.
I'm surprised there's not a crimp to hold the wire for strain relief, and to waterproof the back. |

Your connectors are a lot more machined and solid than the original connectors I am used to on the CMPs. They are normally a stamped metal housing.

Thanks folks.
Rob, although these are made in England, I believe these are original to the early CMPs. (I might learn more about how little I know) Bob, you must be the man! Lauren, I see it the same. They make little sense

I'll check the stock room at work tomorrow. I know we have a coupel bins of the rubber lights. I'll see what we have for connectors.
The connectors must be used on something a little more modern. I picked some short harnesses with them on at a surplus store about 6 months back . I can't rmember if they had a British or a Cdn NSN. |

The bren gun carrier used a double pin base on the rubber lamp on the back sign IIRC, as well as the convoy light. The UC part number of C01UC13987 translates into NSN 6240-21-854-7650 which is trade number bulb #82. The description for it is
![]() These are two pin bulbs that only had one filemant. One wire was ground and one was power. The base is spec'd as a "bay15d". The giveaway is that for dual filament bulbs, the locking pins will be on defferent levels for indexing purposes, so as to ensure that the brighter filament will serve it's purpose. (ie turn signal is brighter than the running lamp). On a single filament bulb, the two locking pins are on the same plane since plarity does not matter. Could it be possible that you have found a stash of carrier lamps? Photo below is a bin of the rubber lamps and leads at my work. Last edited by rob love; 07-03-16 at 19:50. |
