I am looking for a PA rear lamp rim and single colour glass lens. Unfortunately during a rough transport two lamps were damaged. The original, ST38/? is repairable but is missing its rim/glass. (The other, a later copy, fully flattened.)
Also I am missing quite a number of grease nipple's, at my steering joint; also pictured at the photo; the thread diameter is 7.8mm or 5/16", sometimes referred to as a Tecalemite -low pressure- grease nipple.. does somebody know where to get these old style nipples. I seem to find only new ones on the Internet.

I have a couple of red glass lenses which you're welcome to have. Drop me an email with your address through the Forum system and I'll pop them in the mail to you.

Hi Simon, I've send you my details. Later I saw you are from Belfast, so the coffee is maybe for another occasion.
Happy Easter, Gerard.

Just received an excellent set of lenses from Simon!! Many thanks.
If somebody has a rim, even damaged; I will repair it... can maybe template it...

Hi all,
Just to update & question:
I received a rim from Russel (many thanks!!); need only the screw nut.. than it is complete.
Question: Does anybody know if the PA in 1934 was fitted with a 'brake' light.. With only one rear light, I can imagine a number plate and a rear light, but I can't find the brake switch in the car parts list. I will make the car 'compliant' to today's road standards; but I want to do it with period improvements...

I also received several (different period) grease nipples from John (many thanks!!), which are already on the car. I've approached a lot of grease nipple merchants, and yes 2BA pre-war/classic nipples are remade for the vintage (motor-)cycle world, but not the 5/16!

Gerard, scroll down this and you will find 5/16 BSF nipples;

http://shop.hle.co.uk/shop/grease-nipples-connectors-accessories/steel-hydraulic-grease-nipples/steel-hydraulic-45-degree/45-hydraulic-grease-nipples-steel-zinc-plated.html

Looking back I see you are hoping to use old style ones. My experience is that getting a leak proof seal with the gun is difficult and while I accept it is a personal view, I'd rather have the practicality of a new gun to new nipples and hang the O.P.

Cheers,

Dave
