Hi Wes,
Part of item M. But it is pointing to the bulb. That is the lamp assembly. I guess the pair is listed under one number. Anyway there is a rubber grommet/sleeve on the back that transitions from the wire to the housing, maybe an inch long? Mine were dry and crumbled.

I kinda thought you meant that. But, isn't that just part of the light? I have two lights with roached out wiring and those rubber parts are crumbling.
Looking at the illustration posted by Wes, do those lights come apart for rebuild? The illustration shows them in parts. I'll have to look at them when I get home.
The lamps are "N" not "M". "M" is the fuel gauge. The rubber tail end boots are a part of the rear cover assembly, item "L". ORD# 7384392.
The #40 sits right on the rubber tail boot.
The body and shield are retained on the gauge panel with the two screws. The rear cover assembly can be rotated and removed to allow the lamp change.
Perhaps this will clear things up a bit:
Remember folks this applies to the M38's and M38A1/M170's produced from 1950 thru 1955. The later M38A1's and the M170's used the M151 style dash lamps.

I decided to paint my air cleaner OD instead of black. I think i'm just about done painting large parts. I just need to finish painting my windshield frame. I've put 3 coats of paint on it and still have red primer showing through. I'll need to get in the corners with a brush.

I got the radiator seal installed last weekend. I used a couple of safety pins to make holes in the felt then poked the fasteners through. I used the staples from the kit for the top and safety wire for the sides. The safety wire was much easier to work with.

See below. I used #8x3" construction screws to put it together. The casters are from an old furniture dolly that I had. Locking casters might be a good idea. I just threw small pieces of wood under the wheels to keep it from rolling around while I worked on the Jeep.
