What did you use for the red jewels in the reproduction T plates? I couldn't see any reference to that.

Thanks Bob . Backing up is definitely a challenge but i am practicing .... Robin , they are called licence plate jewels . New made in China , made of plastic and available at .50 C each on Epay. You tear the screw and bolt off . ... Pretty close to originals from afar ... The glass ones were $29 US each ....Thanks Ed , really appreciated .

NOS Trailer sockets
It was Xmas today . Received two NOS trailer sockets in the original packaging . These were used on the 5 Cwt Scout car ( Jeep ) to plug in the trailer pigtail . The trailers to be used in train need one each of these so the park and stop lights work ... I suspect the were installed facing the rear on a bracket instead of their designated spot on the left side of the frame. Pictures show something hanging from a bracket on that side . If the socket was installed sidewise it would be awkward to plug in the following trailer and an invitation that it be torn off . I will show what i mean in pictures soon .

Here we have the NOS MB/ GPW trailer socket in it’s place on the trailer frame facing sideways . It’s a perfect fit , even the four holes are pre drilled for the bolts . Only problem is if installed this way the trailer plug is facing sideways when inserted . An invitation to have it ripped out . I surmise that seeing this , someone at Army design woke up and suggested it be installed facing rearward . I Will illustrate in the next insert ... more to follow ...

traîler socket facing rearward
Here , this what i mean . The pictures from the manual posted by Jordan shows something on the left side. Because of the angle and it’s black & white we vaguely make it out . My suggestion is the trailer socket was put on a bracket on the left
facing the rear to plug the following trailer in a train , if they were so employed . I remain to see Canadian pictures of this ... Mystery solved , i think . What do you think Jordan ? Anyone else ?

The socket goes where you had it in the first picture down in the frame. It’s way more protected there then where you have it in the second picture. Also keep in mind the body as an assembly is removable from the frame and all of the wiring is located inside the frame.
