Default Now here is a discovery for all you Cab 11 and Cab 12 owners out there.

The headlights were missing, but I had, over the past 37 years, picked up two new old stock LEFT SIDE headlights. The Lynx lights are the same as on a Cab 11 or Cab 12 Blitz.

I was going to have to convert one Left side one to a Right side one and would therefore have to drill a new hole for the headlight wiring into one of the left hand lights and then weld a filler piece into the existing hole.

I had another rusty right hand light which had the correct plates underneath and inside so I drilled out the rivets and found that the headlight drum was already drilled for both left and right side usage.

All I had to do was turn the mounting plate around 180 degrees and re- rivet it back into place. Unfortunately I did not take any photos of that.

Hope that this helps with your restorations.

Rick
