Battery question

Anyone know about batteries?

I have a brand new unused Bosch 075 battery, which I bought 4 year ago and never fitted. Obviously it's flat, but would it be possible to recharge it on a trickle charger after so long?

All advice appreciated.

Plastic coating dip/spray

I remember seeing a plastic rubber product in a can, that you could dip the handles of tools in, but I can't remember the name.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance.

Carb vacuum advance port

I have broken off the brass vacuum advance port/connector on a carb I was dismantling, does anyone know where I can get a new one? I can drill out the old one easily enough.

Any advice appreciated.

Fuses - converting from glass fuses to modern blade fuses

Can someone provide me with a link to conversion table from glass fuses rated as their 'blow' rating and blade fuses rated as 'continuous' rating?

Specifically I have 35 amp glass fuses, what would the blade fuse equivalent be?

Re: Rear wash/wipe circuit diagram

It's actually to build a wash/wipe for my Marina. On a modern car a wash/wipe only works on the slow speed, so I'm hoping it's like a single speed system.

I already have an intermittent wipe relay fitted (Lucas 6DA), so I want to complete the job.
