Interior lamp assembly for the Otter. It’s pretty much the same as found on the Universal Carrier dash. However it only uses one wire and the socket is grounded versus the double wire on the Universal Carrier.
Sadly something smacked the lamp pretty hard at some point and crushed in the dome. The mounting bracket was also bent and broken because of that as well. I clamped the two parts and backed them with some brass washers then used my Mig welder. Came out very well. I did go back and re weld the one joint as I wasn’t happy with it the first time. Now to see about straightening out the dome. It’s thin brass so I’m not too hopeful it will.

And the bracket all freshly sandblasted.

Those lamps were also used as interior lamps in Rams.

I’m just about finished with the interior lamp. Thankfully after annealing the brass hood it came back to its proper shape quite easily. I also managed to get the threaded end seated back into the lamp body.

Today I discovered the remains of the Allied star on the side of the hull.
