Hi Anonymous

Looking at these photos, that sounds like it would be a little uncomfortable.....

Ahhh. I see. I was kind of hoping you'd found a glass maker to repro them.

The NOS ones tend to be cloudy even when in paper. Are yours?
I have about 10 of them NOS and the two I have unwrapped have been just a bad as the ones currently installed in ours.

Hi there

I haven't seen mine yet - they are still on the way from Belgium. From what I've read they are all like that, with the very odd exception.

There was someone in Australia making some:

Hi Jon

I just got some parts from Brent. I think I asked him about these parts a while ago but I will check with him again.

Thanks for that.

Hi all,

I’m in need of the following parts for my M8 armoured car restoration if anyone has any spares:

* Brake and clutch master cylinder pushrods and pedal return springs
* Rear spring U bolt
* Rear terminal box (the one with the strip in it, not the shunt)
* Flashlight holders

The brake and clutch pushrods and return springs are needed fairly urgently as I’m wanting to fit the assembly into the hull. I had some pushrods but they won’t work so if anyone has any originals they could part with, that would be appreciated.

Darryl,

What is your email? I'll send a photo of a terminal box I have with a strip in it. Let me know if it will help.

Thanks

Matt
