What source do you use for the lens for the side lights?
Are they something that can be tracked down or have you had to manufacture them? I haven’t got any so a will be looking for the full set.

1 inch hole saw
Hi
I've been making replacement lenses for the marker lights for years, lacking a source of NOS. I'll have to check the hole saw size, but I have one that the ID of the cut out is just right for the marker lamps. I've used red lexan for tail lights and clear for the front. If you want he white sand both sides with 220 grit wet sand paper gives and acceptable white. Or if you can find white plastic boxes saw the holes out of that. Best done by clamping the plastic on a drill press with some wood underneath for saw clearance on a drill press. If you use 1/8 inch thick lexan you don't get the warping of the thinner originals. Cheers Phil

Hi Mick,
If the insides that hold the bulbs are rusted away an LED replacement insert for a "magnalite" flashlight will fit in quite nicely. I found some tiny connectors off an old computer hard drive fitted exactly over the two prongs on the insert. Wires could be soldered to them but keep the heat from getting to the LED's . Lens's cut from a diffuser cover from a flourescent ceiling light worked well. Wire a 1watt 100R resistor between the led and ground if it is a 6 volt system. Polarity is important. If it doesn't work swap the leads around. Some gasket sealer will keep the dust and water out. Cheers,

Was the single stop light, thats located on the inside of the two light back right hand side, a red colour as well....the same as the back two red tail lights? I have researched it a bit from here but I thought I read somewhere it was green but carnt find the post again.
I spotted the rear three light set up on a post by Tony smith.

Had rain here today (still going) and out of absolute boredom, decided to see if tools for this project had any marking when new? Found a few pictures and one of interest I have posted here of New Zealand Army store depot Guadalcanal. Noticed the new shovels and spades on the left and did the same to this one.
Thanks to Mike Kelly for his C8AX tray plans I am starting to bend the tray up this Wednesday.

Mick, shouldn't you have marked the shovel with the same tac number as the truck? Now it looks like YOU'VE nicked the shovel from another unit!

Thanks Tony for the guidance with the colour of the lights. (And you’re right, I should have put a 102 on the shovel, I thought the 20 was a item number or something! With the rain we had I was on a two day bender so didn’t pay much attention)
Cut the rust out of the back of the rear of cab and had it in one spot on roof rear. All painted green now anyway. Fitter rang up and I can pick the engine up so will do just that Friday. Made a start on the C8AX tray from the plans Mike Kelly sent me.
