Speaking of 24 volt lighters, I heard a story one time that involved the early USMC M38A1 contract. I was told that the early USMC A1's came with cigarette lighters. Anyone else ever heard of this? I have found no documentation to support this, but who knows.

I like the cup holder idea! Could double as an ash tray. So anyone know of
a source for 24v cigarette lighters? 8-)
