Some photos of the set up I put in the FB ute with 179 and Aussie M15 three speed all synchro box.

Crossmember is modified HT item, shortened and folded.

Front ends weld to no1 body member behind inner subframe leg connectors. Rear angles up and welded to the box seam under the seat.

Thanks!

Thanks for the offer Errol ..There are two on the car and look a little better than yours ..I have to do a brake overhaul and decided to put new ones regardless ..so i wont trouble you to post it , thanks .I took the car to the local inspection station for rego check ..It was very embarrassing , just as I drove in the front RH wheel locked up .. The friction material on the leading shoe came away from the metal shoe and travelled around with the drum and jammed the mechanism and the wheel ...B and R brakes had a set of shoes on the shelf , two sets in fact ..so I got out of trouble , passed rego , I am not happy with one of the cylinders , also hand brake is sticky ,so i'll do a overhaul all round ..

I primed mine with Protec 458 aerosol and used a Paraglaze Jet Black urethane 2k. I can’t remember if it was 4:1 or 2:1 mix.

Ray Taylor passed away a few years ago now. Did you deal with his son, or was it old stock?

Excellent job Wasim. I hope to see it out and about around SA.

Yep, I’m the SA guy that got the bangin headlights fitted to my FB ute, originally running factory Bosch lights. They fit in the Bosch buckets just fine. Buckets are same as FC with the addition of three tabs for mounting the covers. The owner of the business fitted them for me and was surprised as he thought the cars all had Lucas lights. They are basically the same format as all the 7” Lucas P7 style but different plug. They light things up very well and draw minimal power. Certainly no need for relays. My only issue is that if one goes you have to replace the entire unit, which would run to $150.
