So you’re trying to individualise the spheres, there were individualising kits available from some of the usual suspects, I don’t recall who.
I also recall them being on eBay at some stage in the proceedings.
A glass screen reduces the rear view, whilst with a new plastic version you will have the original field of vision.
Yes but the glass screen remains clear unlike the plastic one which only retains it clarity for about 5 minutes before it goes opaque,
The glass may offer a smaller view and the plastic offers a larger but blurry view……six of one and half a dozen of the other
Most Fs and TFs I see have battle scars on their arses, this is undoubtedly due to poor rearward vision with the roof up
If you wanna see what behind you get a reversing camera!
Take one out, stick it in your pocket and drop it on the counter when you go visit your local industrial supply house and ask x an out of these thanks mate!
I don’t have one of those but somewhere around here I have a period genuine MG road atlas that they sold here in Oz, it’s leather bound too.
Never seen another, probably wasn’t a good seller, they most likely charged too much for it.
Those red blue or yellow insulated crimp connectors are the work of the devil, damned things are more trouble than they are worth.
Much better of with un insulated crimp connectors you carefully crimp over the tangs and then use a little solder to ease the deal as it were followed by some heat shrink tubing to insulate.
Ventured out to the workshop but cat find the bastard thread gauges, they’re probably still packed up from the move, I can’t even find any fittings to try and screw on, I know where they will be but they’re well buried. I did however managed to extract a nice shiny brand new sphere from my parts shed, but with nothing to confirm the thread but my old tied worn out eyes it does look to be 1/4” BSP.
When I can be arsed I should wander out to the workshop and find the thread gauges and then further out to the parts shed to find a sphere so as I can take a measurement but as a guess it’s probably 1/4” BSP seeing as how it was made in Pomgolia
