Default Rotating light

In general shape, the lens for your rotating light looks similar to the Federal Signal model 14. Based on the data sheet for the model 14 http://www.fedsig.com/docs/4100HD_Model100-Model_14.pdf the same lenses also fit the model 100 - so they may have been used for other models too over the years. Sometimes plastic parts have the part number moulded in, check to see if you can find a number similar to the one listed on the data sheet - 447500. You might want to contact the Federal Signal representative for Quebec (in Montreal) to see if they can help you identify and find the part you need. http://www.federalsignal-indust.com/...ovID=11&View=2

You might find restrictions on the sale and use of red or blue lenses for vehicles in Quebec since the police use both colours (don't know - just guessing) but in Ontario blue is also used for snow plows so should be legal for sale and once you have the part number online sellers rarely ask what you plan to do with the part......

For your light in the blackout position, I didn't find the 4455B listed in a quick search but the GE website lists many sealed beams http://genet.gelighting.com/LightPro...Y=Lamps_Sealed Beam_PAR&CHANNEL=Commercial They also have a Montreal sales office in addition to their 1-800 number. You are lucky to be close to Montreal with its significant industrial base rather than a city that is more administrative than industrial..... On second thought, if the bulb you are seeking has the military style wiring coming out the back like the complete blackout unit, it may be hard to find and you may have to adapt a civil pattern lamp to fit inside your housing. There also used to be dye/paint kits available to colour the front of clear bulbs but I have no idea where to find them now.

Several of the US based Jeep parts sellers show a bracket for the slave cable. https://www.armyjeepparts.net/p-1179...g-bracket.aspx http://www.debellajeepparts.com/m38premier.htm
For Canadian sources, try Brian Asbury, Niagara Military Parts and Willys Acres (and there have to be others as well)

Regarding the slave cable bracket, I am not sure it was the same as used on the M38. The m38 mounted with 4 bolts, but because of the raised seam of the M38A1 fender, the bracket for it mounts with only 2 bolts. I tried to look up the part but none of my modification instructions detail that bracket, including the installation instructions for the recoiless rifle kit in the M38A1s. It is not mentioned in the re-location instruction for the spare tire mount either, which is what blocks the slave cable in it's old location.

Perhaps someone with a recoiless Jeep can show a photo of the bracket. There is an unaltered recoiless jeep at the local milsurp yard, but it is covered tightly with a tarp.

Default 106RCL Jeep pt 1 of 2

Here are some photos of the 106 RCL Jeep in the old Vimy House of the Canadian War Museum. Not sure how much help they will be. On the bright side, St-Jerome is not far from Ottawa on the new Hwy 5? 50? And the vehicle curator sometimes comes to the Ottawa vehicle club's events.

many thanks for our help!

to Grant : good idea you have, I will try to contact those representatives! I will not use blue or red lights on the road, I know I can't do that, it's only for shows or movies!

to Rob : exactly right, the M38 bracket has 4 bolts and this M38A1C has only 2 bolts, I know it will be hard to find!

to Terry : thanks for the pics... I think I saw this jeep many years ago when I was a kid!

For the replacement lense for rotating lights, try any of the large truck suppliers like Traction Truck parts etc. They will have all kinds of catalogs for this kind of stuff.
