Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Jordan Baker]

As I posted earlier the wiring diagram doesn’t appear to have a convoy light.

Guys,

I truly appreciate each and every comment. The bracket is now back on the shelf where it will remain a wonder. The lack of documentation and the lack of an ID on the wiring diagram plus the fact that that the bracket does not accept a normal convoy light were major factors. The clincher was when Rob confirmed that the RCA Lynx doesn't have a convoy light since I know that the CWM Lynx doesn't either.

I continue to be amazed at the knowledge within the MLU community and the willingness to share.

Thanks again, Peter

After looking in both the parts and maintenance manuals, I agree with Jordan. I didn't find reference to an axle or sub lamp, a switch for it or a bracket to mount it on. The lamp and wiring are filed with electrical in the F15A parts list but I also looked in the frame, hull, instrumentation and rear axle sections in case they were filed differently on the Lynx. That said, it is always possible I missed the relevant items.
Is there by any chance a part number stamped on the bracket? If so, I can try again.

maybe that is a plug in socket for a trouble light?

Grant,

I can think of at least four Lynx/Ford manuals that have had quite the workout (yours, Jordan's, Rick's and mine). There is no part number on the bracket and it is of an unusually heavy gauge - 3/16". I am now of the mind that this was a post war add on.

Harry,

The remnants are very similar, again not a logical fit for this location.

Thanks, Peter

Peter, was there any remnants of white paint on the dif?

The maintenance manual points out both a dash lamp in figure 1 and a trouble lamp socket. Does anybody know of the location of the trouble lamp socket?
