It looks like the one on Andys light may be usable. I thought it looked like it had been butchered, when compared with the bracket in my other photo, but it looks very close to your photo.

Re Wiring: Did you forget about looking for the front wiring for me? Remember I have a Cab 12 headlight wiring harness and need a cab 13 set instead. For that matter, I need ALL the wiring for a cab 13 With tax time coming up, i'm sure I can splurge for wiring harnesses!

Let me know what you got that's in good condition, and prices please. I'm sure we can come to a deal

Well i'll be damned.

Most times I buy bolts from the local supplier, I pay via EFTPOS.

When the total is less than $10, I may buy one of their 'handy' packs of washers, which contain a vast assortment of different sizes and types. This then brings the total above the minimum for EFPOS transaction. Each pack would have around 500 pieces! Anyhow, today I bought a plastic compartmentalised storage box, and planned to sort the washers into the different types.

I had brought this box inside and my Wife asked what I was planning to do. Here's the amazing bit. While I have been working on tonights posts, she has been doing the sorting for me.

If I sit here now, and look busy, the sorting will be all done by the time I 'get around to it'.

Aint that nice?

Didn't get color on the window frame, but got to primer stage.
Wiper motor 1.jpg
I bought a pair of these NOS wiper motors about a year ago. This is the first trial fitting.
They will do just fine, and they work too. At least this one does.
The other is still sealed in it's wax covered box.

David D, those window slides repaired great. Thanks!!
Misc parts 1.jpg
Got a whole bunch of little parts painted with the radiator air ducting.

Just before coming inside, I cut and cleaned a short length of window frame channel, to take to rubber shop tomorrow, so I get the right size rubber seal. There is a fair chance they will have the right seal stock already in store.

I have found an issue with the window frame hinge mechanism. This being that the window does not want to swing to extent required for fully closed position. Something in the two pieces is stopping the free movement. It's not rust in the channel, and the two pieces slide along each other freely because I put a lot of time into the cleaning of the grooves, but window does not want to close fully. I can't see anything bent. Nothing looks out of place but will budge. I have a week to work it out, because it The window WILL be painted next weekend!
