Default 505 stuff

Hello Hanno

Something looks wrong with that light. It looks like it is inside out.

Those lights are really hard to find now. Brian Asbury use to have them NOS.

The wipers are even harder to find. E-bay is most likely the best chance or G503. The proper wiper will not be cheap. Dirk Leegwater had some brackets and arms at one point for them.

The WD number can be a roll of the dice. When they were assembled in the UK they were initially assigned a CMD number. They might have sat there for a short while before being assigned to a unit. Only once assigned to a unit were they given a WD number. They just took what they had and assigned it. i.e. 4 cars 5cwt to Black Watch of Canada. Then they assigned 5 WD numbers in sequence.

Most of my research was in house looking at actual documents or Microfiche. The Microfiche is now on line.

Thanks

Eric

Hello Eric,

Having seen the picture you posted above makes clear the headlight I posted pictures of, is a different light altogether.

The black out mask may be the same, used inside out, but the headlight bucket is clearly a different one.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Just a note that my email address in the flier of parts suppliers that Eric posted is an old email and will not work. I can always be contacted via PM on this forum (BCA).
... Brian
