Default Bridge Disk diameters

Hi Hanno,

I cannot verify if Australian built CMP's were originally fitted with only one headlight but I have never seen an extant Australian assembled Ford CMP with just one. Hopefully others more knowledgeable can confirm it.

Wartime photos seem to show two headlights fitted in Aussie built trucks.

The brackets that holds the disk on my Australian built cab is spot-welded to the cowl which indicates a factory fitment rather than a field modification so the disk was always intended to be displayed there. At 5" between centres of mounting holes this would help to account for a different sized disk if locally sourced.

Cheers,
