I have come to a stage where I have accumalated quite a variety of early Model HOLDEN parts and require A master parts catalogue, I have an early one but it only covers FX FJ, and FE,...THE one Im looking to buy has FX,FJ, FE,FC , FB, EK,EJ, EH, If you have one and are prepared to part with it contact Slim on 0402465768 or send me a pm, I will pay a fair price, but will not sell my kidneys to have to pay for it ;D
Slim,
The one you want - if you can get hold of it - is the "Nasco Master Parts Catalogue - The First 20 Years"
It covers 48-HR and so has all the bits that we take off the later model junk. Â It's about 2" thick, and has heaps of detail.
Yes I have one. Â No it's not for sale. Â But they turn up regularly on Ebay.
cheers

[ EDIT: before the flaming starts, the use of the word "junk" in there is a joke. Everyone keep their hair on ;D ]
Can I borrow it , I promise Ill give it back( HA HA)! ::) Thanks for the info mate!
Only if I can borrow that Monaro you've got for sale ;D
RET
Ok mate but I havent opened the boot for a while and a family of phillipino fishermen have moved into it, Im afraid they go with the Monaro! :o
Slim,
How much for the phillipino fishermen? :-/
I was recently voted WWF (worlds worst fisherman) at a cricket club fishing day so I may have some use for them.
Already pleaded with the missus to let me buy the Monaro, not looking good at the moment, but I'll keep working on it. Get back to you about March 2009 ;)
Cheers,
Craig.
I think it will be gone by 2009, but Ill put the phillipino fishermen aside for you. IM not very accomplished in that field either! ;D
G'day Slim,
The catalogue that RET is talking about is currently on EBAY. I came across it this morning.
Cheers, Jason.
Slim
The cattledog sold for about $160, you may have to sell one kidney ;D

The worlds gone mad. And I refuse to go mad with it , $160 . Thats MAD
Must have been RET's recommendation, see what influence he has ::)

Dear Slim.
The catalog I have before me is No M32662 and covers models "48" & '50" series, FJ, FE, FC and FB series.
Note that Holden make no mention of " FX".
No it is not for sale, and I think that my brother might heve dificulty getting this one back!
The last one I saw for sale at a swap meet was for $60.00 . I examined it but it was not made of gold.
Good luck.
Daydreamer.
G'Day Daydreamer,
"FX" is the common reference for the "48" & "50" series holden, I don't think Slim visits anymore (Our Lost I Think) he had a disagreement with another member.

Con Grats Slim
I see you are now the proud owner of a slightly dogged eared cattledog. I was going to bump the price up on you ;D but didn't want to get stuck with the dog ::)
John M
Hey Slim, if you were willing to pay $100 for it and got it for $45, does that mean you'll give me $55 for being the first to tip you off about the auction? ::)
No? Oh well. Every time you open that book, just think to yourself, "geez that RET's a top bloke, I'll have to look after him" !
Sorry to hear about your testicle.
cheers
RET
