Brett,
There are a couple of approaches. One is to rat an old metal Utilux fuse holder for the short piece. The other is to break an instrument lamp, dig the glass out, and re-use the base. Solder the centre conductor of the coax to the inner terminal, and solder the braid to the metal body. just check that an instrument lamp is the right size to fit the radio's antenna socket first.

Front seat in today and outer rubbers and Crupi sill trims on passenger side. Minus 7 this morning, so took a while to get started

How the hell do you manage to survive in weather like that
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Wooses (is that how it's spelled?)
Can I come too Patrick
?
Actually I think my thermometer is broken. Probably wasn't as bad as that, but the melting ice on the tin is a pain as it drips on you....

Re: Wilma FB project
Another question. These two bailey channel fittings came off front doors. Which one goes on which door and which way is up? The holes allow them to fit either door and either way.

Re: Wilma FB project
Brett,
Is Wilma an early FB? The longer inner bailey channel is (guessing) a leftover from FE-FC production.
Went downstairs to check "Found Object"'s front doors. The longer end is at the bottom.

Re: Wilma FB project
Wow. Many thanks Rob, Patrick. This response is so helpful.
Bit of a cleanup and paint on the way.
