Bruce: Does the switch bracket have the part number Co1UC 100146 on it?

By the way, I have not forgot your request (along with others) for the drawing on the bracket. I have it here on my desk now, but I left my digital calipers in the shop, so will retrieve them tomorrow. After that, the bracket will travel on it's world tour to the UK.

Here is another view of the switch. I think this is even the same carrier.

I thought I would mention as well that Brian Asbury has the convoy lamp body (the bushing but, tube, spring and lense with gasket) listed on his parts lists. You would still have to find the socket, nut and washers to complete the assembly. The part number for the sub assembly listed on BCA's part list is CO1UC 100145B.

Alternatively you could go the easy way out. Make the hole bigger in the convoy lamp bracket and use a CMP truck marker lamp assy. A guy would have to be underneath the carrier with a mirror to see the difference.

I brought in the calipers today to make the measurements on the bracket. Everything is in millimeters. If there are any questions to the measurements, ask soon as I will be heading back to KAF in a couple weeks for another tour.

Sorry for the poor drawings....I am no draftsman.

Rob, just wanted to say your drawing is great. I made up that bracket today in a few hrs.

Bruce, is there any chance you could post up some dimensions for the switch cover?
