Hi Peter. I have one here,however, the ball retaining circlip is broken. The fork has been powder coated & comes with spring & cover plates. You would need to locate a circlip. I have sent photos should you be interested, Cost $20 + postage. Kevin.

I am offering for sale, my Show Car fenced area, used to display my vehicles . The fence is made from PVC pipes which can be assembled very easily using a small rubber mallet,[ which is included ]. The lower rail has vinyl pouches purpose made to hold clay pavers. These provide extra stability should the fence be bumped. They are attached by velcro flaps . The floor covering is silver velour which hides the leads to each of the 4 spotlights. The fence can be carried/stored in the purpose built vinyl carry bags. The fence is located in Ballina, NSW Pick up price $200. I have attempted to include photos. I can be contacted via this Forum. Kevin.

Finally got the "over revving" issue sorted. The ute had an extra fan fitted to the front of the radiator, which ran noisy. The diff is 3.89. Front wheel brakes were grabbing when reversing which explains why the ute struggled to get going in reverse. He thought the gear ratios were incorrect. All good now. Kevin.

Thanks Ken. A Club Member up here has just brought home an FE Ute, which I think is revving far too much @ 50mph. I will check out the diff housing & go from there. Maybe a faulty gear box revamp! Kevin.

Technical Board / General Technical / FE/FC Diff Ratios.
|

A question for the Mechanics on the Forum. What diff ratios were used in the commercials & sedans in the FE/FC Models? I always thought it was the same for all, ie: 3.89 I thought the 3.36 ratio was used in the EK Auto & 3.08 with the 4 speed boxes. Was a 3.55 used in commercials? Were lower ratios used in delivery vehicles? Cheers Kevin.

What about the cars? My guess is FE/FC standard wagon, Austin A40, Hillman minx , Austin A30, Austin A70, Vanguard 10 & some "sloper", [ maybe a dodge?]. Then the FC 225, possibly a 3 tone .

Congratulations to Ken & the Vic's Team for a great event. An amazing experience for my son, who was able to take time off work to travel down with me. 5 days of drive & catch-up. Steve managed the swap tables while I concentrated on the Auction items. Thankyou to the members who assisted me with the item set-up prior to the Auction. An opportunity to show Steve how an event like this operates with the assistance of club members who "pitch in" & help with all the things that need to get done in such a small amount of time. I was happy that my collection found new homes. I have reduced my Museum Display to a point where I can now manage it on a Suburban block. After sorting through the remaining "priceless junk", I can consider participating again in the future. Thanks Ken for your advice & thoughts with preparations in the month prior to this event. Regards Kevin.

I have an original modified head gasket, [for use in extreme conditions], as supplied by NASCO in the early 60's.... still in original packaging with instructions. This item will be available on my "trade table" @ the Vic's Auction 18th August. Kevin.
