I believe he still is making them.  And you  are correct, the FC ones will fit in FE

Ken

Different, FE scuffplates have a flat profile, whilst FC have a raised section running the length of the plate. Supposed to be to repel water from entering the car.

Thanks surferboy, I Remember those photos now.  Great stuff.

Ken

I agree with all written above, the pedal pivot area is prone to rust and wear, the pedal travel can be affected dramatically by a worn and bent pedal. Do you have the main return spring installed on the cross shaft?

Ken

Yes Vern, I thought you would recognise that part straight away

Ken

By the way, it’s made from a steering column gear shift tube welded to the back cover of a horn

The group photo left to right
Kevin O’Neill, Dina and Tony Galea, Neville Stone, Pia Richards, Leigh Detlefsen, Laurie Richards, Geoff Fitzpatrick and Cat Wright photobombing over the top.
Someone had to take the photo - that was me

Ken

So here it is now, it’s been tucked away in the cupboard for 15 years and it’s still as good as new.  No barn dust.  Lol





Hope you enjoyed the little trip down memory lane

Ken

The photo at the beach I can’t remember, this may have been a SA photo




All the state photos were posted somewhere but I don’t know where they are. Anyone know?

Some of these photos have never been seen before. Some it’s probably best left that way......

We went to Phillip Island on a reccy and took a few more pics







The whole nats team got a group photo, Neville Stone and Tony Galea making special guest appearances

We went further afield to the exhibition building and Flinders street station





I stopped right in front of the station and stuck my arm out the window with the torch. The taxi driver behind me thought I was mad. Unfortunately a car came into the scene just as Kevin clicked the photo

Some more Olympic park with Kevin O’Neill and myself

Started at Olympic park and took some Collingwood shots for Tony and Brett

Way back in 2006 the Vic club ran the FE FC nationals in Phillip Island. As well as the 50th anniversary of the FE, It so happened to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Melbourne Olympics.
I had this idea to make an olympic torch out of FE parts and send it around Australia to the different clubs so it could be photographed in various scenic places and then finally the WA club would drive it across the Nullarbor and it would end up back in Phillip Island.
The order was ACT, NSW, MNC (mid north coast), QLD, SA, TAS & WA
So a schedule was worked out and the following pics were the Victorian pictures

Yes Rod, I am passionate about the history, sometimes too much I think. You would love looking through some of the stuff I have.

Never found what happened to my grandfather’s FE, it was traded rather than left on the farm, I have the plates which I am happy about

Ken

Daryl Flitton in the glasses and Patrick Walsh. Both early members of the Vic club

Ken

I don’t think it’s Tony, I can’t actually name anyone on the right hand side

Ken

You can actually see my 93 rocker cover racer sitting on the ground behind me in the second photo. It got new wheels for 95 and a new weight system to make it go faster.

I heard a rumour the rocker cover races will return at Broken Hill.........

Ken

Great pictures Alex, you can see me keeping my thumbs off the track in that second picture in case they got run over.
I’m Probably a little too close for comfort now that I look at it from a distance.

Ken

Ah yes the fracas........I remember there was also a discussion about a rubber band powered speedster......
It was certainly a mistake not writing the rules tightly enough. Definitely better in 1995.

I’ve got another blast from the past which I will post later - even better than the rocker cover racer....stay tuned.

Ken

Was cleaning up and sorting through stuff in the shed and found this







I think it was Canberra nationals in 95 where this little chap won the rocker cover races. I think we ran them two Nationals Bendigo in 93 and Canberra 95 but could be wrong. I do remember the Vic club running one and someone (was it Phil Illfield?) brought a rocker cover with 4 actual car wheels on it (does a photo exist of this?)

Anyway look at the barn dust!  It’s got to be worth a fortune, very low miles, one owner, only ever driven down hill.
