Just a small request.
If anyone has any prewar 12 volt globes and bayonet housings they may not want or need, I would be interested in them. Also any derelects lying around that may still have the light fittings in them I would also like to hear about them. Thanks everyone.

Ii MIGHT have some headlight globes from the 50s?
before sealed beam became the norm
Brian Hooper
Any photos.
Got some globes i think new in box
Norman Julian
I have just been informed that they are large bayonet.
They would be the same as an old light bulb as far as the bayonet is concerned but a small bulb.
To be honest I don't know what they look like.
Whether they are small or large bayonet.
Sometime between 1939 and the later model buses they became 24 volt all round.
The ones I have in them now are all modern and I want to go back to original.
Someone like David Wilson, Scott Wilson or Bob Gioia would know.
Bob Gioia
Norm.
B22 bayonet cap size bulbs.
Almost impossible to buy now.
Norman Julian
Yeah that is what I have been told.
That's why I put out the SOS for someone that may have some or know of an old wreck.
Brian Blunt
Are these for headlights or interior lights?
Norman Julian
Internal Brian
Norman Julian
Here is one.
This is actually a 12 volt bulb
Carle Gregory

Brian Hooper
Mine had a contact like i bigger brake globe.
Brian Blunt
Are the single or dual contact?
Norman Julian
Brian Hooper

Norman Julian
They are the same size bayonet as a normal light globe

Brian Hooper Early Holden, Ford, Vauxhall headlight globe.
Brian Blunt
Brian Hooper this is a twin filament headlight globe, not quite what he is after.
You used to be able to buy standard size incandescent BC lamps in 12 and 24 v, but these may be too big to go in the bus fitting?
Chris Dempsey
Everything else fails ask the bus museum at Liechhardt Norm its worth a shot
Norman Julian
Done that first up Chris.
No go!
Brian Blunt
Are these too big? https://www.micalighting.com.au/60w-b22-gls-incandescent...
Brian Blunt or http://www.electricalproducts.com.au/10-pack-x-12-volt-15...
Norman Julian
Trouble is [and thanks for that Brian] is these are standard size bulbs which are far too big.
If I can't get the right ones I will change the system over to 24 volt.
Haven't looked into it yet but will see.
Norman Julian
For those that don't know.
This system is both 12 and 24 volt.
The starter needs 24 volt to operate the starter and the rest of the bus is 12 volt.
They eventually went to 24 volt all round including the internal lights.
This one though has 12 volt.
Brian Blunt
Can you get these globes in 24v?
Norman Julian
yes hundreds and hundreds
