The photos help a lot. I'll be ordering that part from C&G and hopefully the switch should install early. I'll just have to wire it in. The one if the photo is somewhat different than the one that is being shipped to me. but maybe there are variations due to different vendors.
In any case it should make the back up lights installation more correct.
These lights are about 3" in diameter and I think are repros but very similar if not the same as the originals but have no Ford marking on them.
The worst part of the '46-'48s are their R rear view mirror. They are only for show, as they cannot be seen by the driver. Useless. The L side isn't much better.
Thanks again to all who contributed and especially toe '42Meric for the info and photos. Helps a lot. Any idea how the wiring is attached and from where? I noticed the wiring is missing on the switch.
