Reflector Assembly Tiger Eye or Corcoran Brown ?

Post by DIEGOTERRERO » Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:27 am

Hello friends
I have a question regarding the rear reflector assembly
I have a Slat with DOD 2-2-42 Body Number 115466

Which would be correct to place ... Tiger or Corcoran?
Because I have mixed opinions ...

Thanks in advance

DIEGO

My DOD is also 2/2/42. 115777 Rebuilt in '45 by Moore Equipment Co. in Modesto, CA. Enough original pieces that I will restore it (someday). Russ

Diego, its in the Nabholtz book, which is extremely accurate. They used the Tigers Eye reflectors from November 41 until around June 42. And dont forget the tail lights on your jeep would have had rubber grommets surrounding them(unpainted). This was ceased in mid June 42. If you need anymore info let me know. 8)
