    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    :-D Indeed! I figured I'd have a gazillion replies by now. I tried it both ways and settled on the reverse configuration. I like it better. At least I didn't point the red lens forward.:-?

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    Here's an update of the convoy light project. It's been dang cold so the going has been slow. This first one shows one of the lights mounted. The next few pics show how I made custom mounts to get the mast away from the soft top. The top one does not fit perfect as I used the gun mount...

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    I really goofed and only test fitted one pair of inner and outter masts. And of course the pair I tested fit great. So I went to insert the "second" inner mast into the "second" outter mast and trouble. I missed that the outter mast was slightly bent and the inner mast would not fully insert...

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    Here is tonights progress. Fishing the wires up through the tubes. The kit came with cheese ball toggle bolts. I switched to full threaded bolts that I think works wayyy better. The kits supplies the strain relief. Time for the dome lights. I added some of the washers and neoprene...

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    Here is yesterday's progress. I decided to go "depot rebuild". Assembled and then painted. The rebuild on my M923 was too nice to let some green part slip in. The silicone in the lights was pretty punky so I hogged it out and replaced it. I was also disappointed with how the dome seal...

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    Yes, can you please ask? I think that's a great idea. Yes, there is a parts list, drawings, instructions, etc. I'm working on finding the right scanner as the page sizes are an odd size.

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    So those "nubs" I'm seeing on your pipe posts, did you weld those one? They look stock so well done. What are they? Were they a custom fab? I'll test fit mine tonight and see if I need to lower them. I'm thinking its a good idea - would be a shame to rake them off. Thanks.

    Thanks! That helps a lot. I think I'm in trouble with height but I did measure my shop door and it's 11'6". We'll see when I fit everything up. I also see I might have to make some small changes for my soft top. Thanks again, Al Jones

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    Any chance you can post pictures? Also, have you put a tape measure on the lowered height? I'm getting nervous that they might be too high for my shop doors. I hope 11 feet is enough. Thanks for the heads up on the ubolts. I wondered about that. Also, what's the deal with the directions...

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    Santa was was more generous to me that I deserved and brought this: I'm going to install it on this: So the question is, do I leave it green or paint it tan prior to install? Anyone with a tan truck have convoy lights installed? What color is your hardware? I have the paint but I...
