Cigarette lighter

[1968Commando 51]

Hello all, I am restoring a commando 8 and from the factory it had a cigarette lighter that is now missing, now before you ask no I don’t smoke and I don’t plan on smoking I just want it back because it looks cool I think haha, anyways I found one on az tractor do yall think this is what I need or do I need more pieces

Any cigar lighter will work. Trick is to get the orginal style knob, Hen's teeth sometimes and can command a hefty price if  you do get lucky. If A-Z has an original for that coin order it NOW!!

So did that look like a complete plug and go set or no?

Yes that is the entire correct assembly. Order it ...  Linc at A-Z is a good guy to deal with. BTW I have seen those at the BS for upwards of 75 clams. Much more if in a original  blister pack.  

 

Your a hamster KP ...

No just wire it to ACC on the ignition switch or I on the switch if you don't have a ACC. Make sure the socket is grounded to the dash and so forth.

That is 1/2 the socket. There is an outer shell that threads onto the large threads at the base to hold it in the dash.

There were only two major lighter suppliers back in the day. Rochester and this one I believe is Casio - totally different.

And be sure the wire has a fuse inline....

Not factory original but not a bad idea either. 

Many variations available and not real pricey.

Awesome dude keep the pics coming.

 

I noticed you said you have a starter gen. My fav motor. '68 ish was the last year for them. Some Raiders had them some didn't in 68. 

 

If you do have a S/G the lighter should be wired off the "L" terminal on the regulator. Along with any lighting or other accessories you may run.

Ok soooo now I’m confused, do I have the right pieces or not, I want to make sure I have all the pieces for the cigarette lighter I need because currently I have a dc switch in the cigarette hole.

Ok so I got the lighter and the socket now I just need too find the case to tie it all  together. 

[rjg854 11,746]

If AZ has those 2 pieces, I would think he would most likely have the case too.

One would think so and he would sell as one piece. 

Sometimes they are so rusted they shred getting them off.
