Re: Federal spinners + adaptor + lead mallet

Ross, I have one of the adapters you mentioned and find that sometimes I need to stand on the end of the breaker bar if the spinners have tightened up in use.

And about 15mm from the wing to the aft edge, but not an exact figure all the way from top to bottom. Certainly not a...

Re: How to secure sill to sill closing panel?

Andrew did warn that this would probably only run on Windows and on my Apple Mac the index.exe will not run as it says "Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS". Ah well.

Mike, an inexpensive digital camera really is worth buying to both keep records for yourself and to post photos for others to help you.
Posting images is easy, too. Have a look here:

Re: wire motor wires (again) simple question. 67 1.5

Steve, yes it would help if the problem was better described. There are very good colour diagrams in the technical knowledge section that will help to identify which wires should go where. Also new sets of wiring are available and could be the best way to solve a problem of a car changed from one si...
