How to wire up 1940 rubber CMP tail lights

[Lynn Eades]

Bob and Rob, I would suspect the double pin lights are carrier because the carriers were all earth return to the switch in the instrument panel.

I have 3 that are two pin. (I bought these in 1992!)These have the cut out for the number plate light (which would be correct)
I have two that are single pin, and have a solid rubber body, and nothing written on them. It make sense that these are the CMP ones with no earth return. These I dont have the connecters for. incidentally the bif. rivets are fitted the other way around to yours.
As it happens, I have some alloy bodied connectors, (single and double)that disassemble, and that are easy to wire (they have a screw for locating each wire in opposite sides of the insulator (double pin))

I just wanted to know how the wire is supposed to be connected in the nice nickel type connector, as per Lauren's ones.
I am beginning to think that the British made the carrier ones and were copied by Ford of Canada for the CMP.
Maybe without the flash and difficult to wire, nickel connector?

It is after all logical, that the British made bright and shiny fittings for military use, that are complicated, but almost impossible to use.

Hopefully my British friends are asleep.
