WHNJ701 4,165 #1 Posted August 25, 2020 My commando 6 had the cigarette lighter at one time I guess, how did they mount the socket? If someone can post a pic of the bracket. I have a lighter and socket from a 65 mustang that will fit in the hole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHunter 1,700 #2 Posted August 25, 2020 Hi Jason, my 877 doesn’t use a bracket. It just has this dark sleeve piece that acts like a nut on the back side of the dashboard. It has teeth that grab the back of the dash. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has teeth that grab the back of the dash. That's the only way I've even seen one mounted, car or tractor. The threaded outer sleeve, which on some lighter sockets acted as the ground. Better off with a dedicated ground wire. I lit a lot of cigarettes using the WH lighters at the dealership back in the day. My boss liked when I pointed out when a tractor in for service had a dead lighter. UPSELL!!! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,023 #4 Posted August 25, 2020 Go to a junk yard and find a 90's and lower GM. They used the sleeve. There is probably 18 jillion of them out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #7 Posted August 26, 2020 They are not cigarette lighters anymore! they are used to run a spotlight or charge your phone while you were mowing! OK maybe the occasional cigar! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think people can afford to smoke anymore, I see Jersey is raising a pack of smokes another 1.85 or something like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No pun intended. I have an original cigarette lighter too. I'm planning on putting on my charger 16 rebuild. All about the novelty any more!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
