The light socket is out of a M35 light I dismantled to get the parts. The glass lens I bought on Ebay that was in India and about as close as I could get to the original shape and I gave it some volts to test it works.
I now need to make the sliding mounting brackets.

Colin.
One of the photos in Post 834 shows a Vickers with one of these lamps deployed. Seems to be lacking the glass cover and the three steel studs look like they are completely above the top cover disc. Perhaps someone can make more sense of the purpose of the lamp from this photo as it looks like if fully extended, it might be somewhat obscured by the cupola structure, except to the rear of the vehicle. Some form of extendable Formation Lamp, perhaps? David Last edited by David Dunlop; 06-02-19 at 10:12.

David, I would say they took the glass off for some reason, perhaps to change the globe or replace the broken lens. I have a very good drawing of the complete set up of the light. What I have made would be relatively accurate. That was great spotting from that post as I never picked that up. Great reference for me. I still need to trim my studs to suit yet.

These little parts are location clips to hold the light in the down or the up position. They are spring loaded and I still need to make the locators.

I have fitted one and it slides up and down very easily. I also need to bolt the handle on.

 Would there be a rubber seal between the hull and top disc, to serve as a weather seal when in the 'down' position? Owen.
