I think that the movement of the diff would be insignificant compared to the rather unfocused pool of light from the lamp. On the other hand, mounting the lamp on the axle will have greatly increased the vibration it was subjected to so bulb life would have been very short. I think it was a dreadful idea !

I totally agree with Bruce's last post !

Peter,

Maybe you did find the bracket bolted to the axle, as someone sometime may have re-fitted it there.

But it does not make any sense to mount the axle flood light there. The bracket has the typical twist and downward axle to shine a light on the differential from a position on the chassis. I would spend my time on finding the correct location on the chassis.

HTH,
Hanno
