I don't believe they are interchangeable Bomma, it's something to do with aperture size and angle of insertion apparently!!!
Typical 
ION, I have a confession to make. I lied. Told a fib. Put forth an untruth. It transpires I do own a Lamborghini after all, but I'd carelessly mislaid it amongst the flotsam and jetsam of our current domestical DIY activities, on account of it not being quite as big as a real one....
Of course, being left hand drive it's a tricky thing to handle on our crowded British roads but at least it fits in the garage. I've just noticed some ruddy 'ooligan has broken the radio ariel… can't park a nice car anywhere these days etc, etc....

Typical But it's difficult finding somebody with the skills to effect the swap to any degree of satisfaction.

That is bloody lovely P5B!!!!
It's a lovely model but it'd be even nicer if it were life size! This one captivated me and then some at the NEC the other weekend, one of the rare RHD P300s too...
I was chatting to one of the chaps on the club stand who also has a RHD Urraco (and a Countach!), asking him what it was actually like to own drive he said ''it's sublime, handles better than most modern cars, very forgiving and sounds fantastic...''.
Sigh....

How much does something like that cost? I'm guessing it's over £100k?
This one was for sale initially for £80k but it's dropped a bit recently...https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1013061
If I had the funds I'd be all over it! At the beginning of last year this concourse winning RHD one in orange with matching interior sold for c.£110k...

Alas Dicky I have some bad news, apologies for bursting your whistfully splendiferous bubble of nostalgia but the dear old fut, fut, futter has been purloined and substantially modified by an Italianate tractor magnate with a penchant for making things go very fast and making rather a din...
I know a bloke who knows a bloke who's got an almost watertight cayak for sale on the Lower Trivton River if it helps...?
In 1980 I went to work at Badger in one of the first offices built in London in the 60s after the height restrictions were lifted. (Something to do with the height of St Paul's not being exceeded? Can't remember.) Anyway, the office overlooked the Chiswick Flyover. None of this has anything to do with the story of Terry Turner and his equivalence to Ferruccio Lamborghini. Terry had made a living building and selling Z-drives for river boats. You could motorise any small boat with an Anglia engine, a propeller and one of Terry's Z-drives. He was a funny old sod. When work dried up for his little business he found his way into oil and gas as a modelmaker which is what I was doing at the time. He was forever having altercations on the road before the term road rage had become common parlance. "I blew him up," was his regular phrase. It meant he had hooted at the miscreant. He was a Freemason and once asked me if I had been taught to be cautious. ( I didn't have a clue.) And he played drums in a semi-professional band. I know a bloke who knows a bloke who's got an almost watertight cayak for sale on the Lower Trivton River if it helps...?
"How do you play, Terry?"
"Club style. Quietly with brushes. Tssh, te-t'tssh, te-t'tssh, te-t'tssh."
"Uh, huh."
"Are you taking the piss?"
"No."
"Good. Tssh, te-t'tssh, te-t'tssh, te-t'tssh. Club style. Quietly with brushes."

If you‘re a Whitworth it’ll fit
I've had a proper look, it's not Whitworth. Wouldn't surprise me if it's not BSP, could slice it off at the flange and do a butt joint weld I suppose. I'll have a brew and a muffin and give it some thought.

Meant to reply to this earlier Dicky - you really should sit down in a quiet corner of Dicky Towers and write a book...!

It has been suggested before!! I think Dicky and glenrobbo should get together and write a book.
Too kind, too kind. But compliment to ability ratio way out of kilter.
