Title: FC dash - what goes here? Post by: Paul In Ireland on October 03, 2007, 07:12:48 AM There is a hole to the right of the ignition key in the dash - what goes there? Was it just a blank for some optional extra or is there another reason?

It was not uncommon at all to fit a warning lamp in the 60's especially when they were available with EJ EH models. They could be easily fitted to the FE FC handbrake assembly. They come up from time to time on Ebay etc.
Ps Well done on your purchase!!! Cheers Brett Title: Re: FC dash - what goes here? Post by: NO NAME on October 03, 2007, 03:49:34 PM i had a hole drilled there for the "cruise control on" light.
added lights and switches were nothing uncommon since these cars left the factory pretty basic, when i got my fc it had about 4 light and switch holders under the dash with nothing hooked up. Title: Re: FC dash - what goes here? Post by: RET on October 03, 2007, 06:02:35 PM That is the correct spot to fit the electric fan-switch for a Nasco Warmaride heater. You had to drill it out though, that panel was blank ex-factory.
I've seen an article (I think Alex posted it) from a British magazine testing out the new Holden that they had imported. It had a bunch of accessories fitted including this one, but IIRC the reviewers were allowed to labour under the misapprehension that these were all 'standard equipment'. If I can find it I'll post a link. cheers RET Title: Re: FC dash - what goes here? Post by: customFC on October 03, 2007, 08:48:27 PM Is this the 1 you were thinking of?
