Cool jack. And I love the wheel color. Care to share the color name/code?

 So, where did you  get the windshield?

FWIW, I got a windshield for my 521 from www.vintageglass.com and it was not very difficult to get. I did not check on a 411 one as I do not need one of those currently.

 

 

But now I'm thinking about it.

Now starts the fun! You will find out that the original wiper arms and blades are different than US available ones. They are shorter.  If you use available replacement [domestic] units you will have to resync the sweep. Doable but be patient! If not resynced the wiper blades will hang up mid sweep

Original wiper arms or blades? They are both dimensionally different than Roberk or other replacements/

Oh, an RAL color. Nice. RAL is a system of measurement for color. ANy color with an RAL number is the same everywhere.

 

Thanks

In one of my former lives a I ran a 5 color printing press for pop and beer cases. Colors have to be strictly monitored and to do this we had a special booth made up with 6,000k temperature lamps that simulate sunshine. This is the light that out eyes evolved to see in and if it's too cool (towards red) or hotter (towards blue)  it will take on a different shade. White light has the proper density of all colors. Red appears black under blue light because there is no red in it likewise blue things also appear black as red light has no blue in it.

When I went to the powder coater, it was very technical.   We looked at a bunch of dark greys and said "yea, that's the one"  

[Greaser2]

Had a working but leaking washer pump so found a look alike and fabbed it up.

A new body tag came in, the original was faded out.
