Footman connector, round plastic.
Product note: This connector is for a slightly older Ashford wheel, after the flat leather footman connector but before the newest black footman connectors. This poly connector is cylindrical and 1/4” in diameter; it replaces your footman connector exactly if your wheel came with a clear connector. If your wheel once had a green connector (3/16” diameter), you will need to drill out both the end of your conrod and the hole in the treadle to 1/4” to fit this connector, since the old green 3/16” connector is no longer available.
