like this?
dale, an assortment of pics of various BGC.
There are 2 different build states, the hole through the armour is centrally located or located inboard. This also has an effect on the mudguard, light centrally mounted or mounted inboard. The conduit was individually made/installed by each manufacturer, how they routed the pipe from the light down under the front gun mount was different. Some have unique bent pipe, others use a number of 90deg elbows.

Museum restoration!
This is a museum restoration using what looks like PVC pipe fittings. Also note the flare box is upside down.

Interesting about the PVC pipe fittings Euan . Good pick up , I mist that detail when I checked that carrier out a couple of years ago
Just checked my motor today it's numbered at the front casting C59A what does this mean ?? eg year , horse power, etc . any info would be great . Dale

Photo of the left hand light conduit Thanks for the info and photos Darrin and Euan
 Couldn't resist spraying on the hull number on the rear end after work today . I used Mike's book on carriers for reference made them 3 1/2 inches high and copied Euan's font as of the E mail he sent me

Casting number on engine
Quote:
C59A blocks are 1946 to 1948 Mercury engine blocks according to Tex Smith's "The Complete Ford Flathead V8 Manual" These engines were rated at 100 HP at 3800 RPM with a 239 CID and a compression ratio of 6.8:1 which is slightly higher than the earlier Ford V8 engines hence the 100 HP rating. As a matter of interest, my engine is a C69A block which makes it a 1946 Ford engine but with virtually the same specs. Hope this is of some help. Cheers,
