Some memories here Mick. Once worked for a Lucas subsidiary called Butlers who made tractor headlights & work lamps. All based on the same 'pudding basin' pressing, but the worklamps had a sequential switch encased in rubber. As you say, Ford & Massey were blue, International Harvester were red I think, and David Brown were pink.
Demand for all colours was constant and there was a big cock-up one week when the manufacturers received their lamps in the wrong colour. Turned out one of the warehouse hands was colour-blind.
This was the late 60's I think when Butlers also made the 'Ban the Bomb' rear lamps for the first Cortina model. Ford dual sourced this with a rival lamp maker called Magnetex.

Today I changed from low mounts to mediums on my HW80 .25 topped with a Hawke scope as the AO adjuster was just clipping the cylinder in places around the dial, less than a fag paper in certain spots with the low ones. Anyhow having fitted the mediums, I decided to ‘centre’ the scope turrets to give me maximum adjustment in all directions, pop the scope back on and head off to the range to get it zeroed in
I put an A4 sized target out at 25 yards and the first shot, and every shot after that was bang on crosshairs didn’t need a ‘click’ in any direction whatsoever.How lucky was that

Done my bit for the BBS: http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....-being-a-mod-… now I’m a game-keeper turned poacher.
Having worked all day today when I arrived home I finished building my master mini potato cannon. Constructed from 22mm pipe to form the stock/air chamber into a 15mm barrel via a 22mm full flow lever valve and a shrader valve for filling up via my cycling stirrup pump. First test was a standard nerf dart fire under a pressure of 80 psi. Impressively made it through both sides of a Weetabix box . Second test was a potato pumped up to 110psi which is about the max for my pump. Holy S**T is all I can say. With the nice snug fit of an inch long cylinder of potato rammed down the barrel the power was unbelievable. Tomorrow me and mini me will be conducting further daylight testing
