It appears to me that this windscreen would be height adjustable by loosening the four fasteners on the upright tubes and then sliding this assembly up or down.
I would like to see the details at the handlebar for this windscreen.
anybody have photos of this windscreen on or off the bike?

PR38 connectors were our discussion a few years back. I looked thru a Lucas catalog a while back and found the page with connections.
And one of the items looked familiar.
See 571395.
So now my thoughts are, that this PR38 connector I thought would be Miller, because it is used in the Miller Vincent harness, has never been Miller, but rather a Lucas piece. So I shopped around and found these Lucas pieces, NOS in the little boxes, and I bought a pair. San Jose, USA.
So if you missed getting a pair, they are still around.
Merry Christmas
Cheers

I am like a little kid upon receiving OEM Lucas parts that fit Vincent. Here two connectors I received today, in their nice original boxes, wrapped in tissue................I cant use these parts ....this is a time capsule. The box shows a 10-3 date. Someone care to share what they know of Lucas dating.
Looks more like the letters 'I' & 'O' to me and the box describes the part as an 'I CONNECTOR'. The symbol for amps is 'I'.
I thought the same of the font chosen, but then I looked at 571395 and I understood the use of the I.Looks more like the letters 'I' & 'O' to me and the box describes the part as an 'I CONNECTOR'. The symbol for amps is 'I'.
I am convinced it is 10-3.
Possibly 10th week of 1943, maybe 53.......I think Lucas dating has a known history and maybe I have the use of months and weeks confused.
I was able to purchase a copy of the Morton Vincent sidecar photo. This photo, to me, is showing a 1948 B Rapide with all the modifications needed to pull a double adult side , maybe Blacknell.
I am looking close at the details and I see the front brake lever with what appears to be an overlaid second front brake lever.
Is this a brake lever for the sidecar? Or am I seeing it wrong.
I also notice the Miller 8" lens does not have a long vertical diamond pattern nor a Miller logo.
Thanks
