<< Ladies and gentlemen,
 
 Greetings from an autumnal Sydney. I am new to the digest, and pretty new to
 Stags. I bought mine late last year in Towoomba, Queensland. It's a 77 Auto
 with wire wheels, largely original but with new suspension bushes, shocks,
 overhauled engine & 'box and, sadly, a not-very-nice CD/Radio with speakers
 in the door panels. I'd have preferred a Radiomobile myself...
 
 I've had a bit of work done - PWDA switch (leaking), brake warninfglight
 (disconnected), wipers (park switch not working), carb diaphragms (full of
 holes), and some trim bits - sun visor gripper rubbers (they weren't),
 speaker grille (partially melted by the Oz sun).
 Otherwise she is in great shape - looks like a reasonably accurate 83k km.
 Has tubular  extractors so sounds wonderful.
 
 You might sense that I am happy after realising a childhood dream - the
 fellow across the raod from my parents' house in Yorkshire had one when I
 was about 11 years old...it's taken me 29 years and a relocation to Sydney
 to get one!
 
 I DO have a question. The sockets at the top of the B posts which connect up
 the heated rear window are missing. I haven't looked hard, but from poking
 my fingers in there there only seems to be wiring in the right hand B post.
 I have 2 new sockets courtesy of Rimmers and my Dad coming out here a few
 months ago. As winter - or what passes for winter here - approaches I expect
 to use the hard top a bit and it would be nice to have the HRW working.
 There is zip about these contacts in my ROM...can anyone help please?
 
 Also, any other Sydney owners?

G'day, Martin!  I had a similar question a few weeks ago, and I am new to
Stags also.  The sockets are there evidently to enable a ground for the HRW
circuit.  There should be two wires in each B post:  a black one and a white
one with a green tracer.  You might look down inside the B-post with a
flashlight or fisn down there with one of those 3 pronged parts retrieval
tools as the wires may have fallen down inside.
