Bob,
listed as well on our SS Morgan 1963 #5381, was a defroster, we found one
with the car, lucas and as you say with the chrome finish, and Toaster
wire on the windsheild side, it had fittings that would fit and
inspection socket, but we had never dared to put it to a test and break
the wires. It has two dried out suction cups of black rubber on either
end, and is ridged, with about 3/4" by about 8 inch length, I guess we
had the same bit.
Interesting, does anyone know of what part number this was, or can I find
it on my part if I am brave enough to dig in my barn for an hour or so in
this weather!
Best Regards,
Cameron, Lori and Bob Bowie of Maine
