I noticed that....the protruding wires look like the blue and red hypalon coated wires of the carriers. It will be interesting to see if the same wiring is in the NOS lights, however with only 3m of wiring, it will be an expensive way to wire a carrier.

The braided cable can be used where it leaves the instrument panel to the cable guard next to the driver.

I got in the lamp and cable from Blanchard's today, and the part number CM500SA is on the box. Sure enough, the cable is 15 good paces long, so the measurement of 42.5 feet is likely correct.

I had a look inside the braided sheath, and the wires colours are red and black. They appear a little too light to use on a 6 volt system for anything beyond the gauges.
Still waiting for the bracket from Kevin...with the Christmas rush on the post office things are moving slightly slower from the UK than they usually do. I have been amazed at the speed some of the stuff makes it to here.
