Scott,
Are you sure you've got the correct part number  ??? This number doesn't exist in my parts book.

Cheers,

 Graham,
just rechecked the number and thats what is clearly on the underside of cast spear it also has HOLDEN written as well. so the mystery continues.
Cheers

Scott,
As far as i know FB-EK standard or commercial had a stainless front guard strip not cast.
Where there are left and right handed parts,early Holden part numbers that end in a even number are for the drivers side and part numbers that end in a odd number are for the passengers side.
I'll check my parts books and see if i can find out what model its for. ;)

Thanks ACE
that would be great. im not sure what it is for but im sure its what i saw on ebay earlier in the week, their was a pair noted as left and right, just thought i might have something else to sell on ebay and want to make sure what it is before i list it. it came in a box of FE/C goodies i picked up also came with a FB/EH clock  ;D. by the way have you still got that nos FC grille lower chrome section PM me with a price and if you still have some horn contacts left i need a pair.
cheers

I checked my 48 - FB parts book, and the #'s do not go up to 742.... My 48 - HR book does not list the number, but it also does not list a moulding for FB EK panelvan or ute. It may have been a replacement #.

Thanks Alex
after looking at the pair of spears on ebay mine looks different to those. the only reason i think it is fb ek is the box of goodies i got has a mixture of fe/c and fb/ek bits and pieces.
cheers

I've checked the FX to HR parts book and it's not there either as a listed part or a superseded part.
I'ts definately not FB/EK commercial as stated above the y are a stainless strip - not cast.

Can you describe the strip?

Scott,

Scott,

Got a mate of mine to look up his Master Parts Catalogue this is his reply -

The closest number I can find to this one is part number 7425013 under 'Accessories' which lists it as a 'front fender top package' under the heading of 'ornament' for both FB and EK. Part number 7425012 doesn't rate a mention.

Hi Stewart, Trev and Ken
thanks for your input. it is interesting what you have found out with that close part number Stewart, something ACE posted earlier about p/no ending in odds and even numbers being for left an right.

trev,
it could be a wind split,as it looks nothing like the guard spear in your picture. ok if i email you a couple of pictures for you to post as im not up to speed with that yet, i can get photos on ebay easier.

Ken
it measures only 15" and is bolted on with two studs 9" apart.chrome side to me ressembles the hull of a boat, hope that helps.
cheers
Scott

[robbzfc58]

yep  scott send pics. sounds like a windsplit....dont have a pair by any chance?

[oldgmh]

Scott,
Part number 7425012.

Its a windsplit, also sometimes known as a  guard spear ( depends on who you talk to ) to suit FB or EK.  It fits on the front top of the front guard and is the same for left and right. It is cast metal with a chrome finish and secured by 2 nuts from under the guard.
Have you got one or two?
