For some reason I didn't have much success with the speedo calculators, but  I think there's a 5% difference between each cog so if you know which one you have you can easily calculate what you need, or at least which is closest?

Best to look at what colour/teeth you have now and start  your calculations from there.

If you can pick up from Torquay Vic I have spare rear window and chrome, will swap for VB  :)

As suggested elsewhere in here, tape a flat stick to the end of the spring clip to get it in position, then tap the stick to drive it home.

Ken, thanks for the info.

gee Graeme I should just check with you first for any bits that I'm looking for!
I'll send you a pm.
cheers, George.

Does the peddle box / bracket bolt on, or is it welded to the firewall ?
I can't remember and car isn't here to look at😒
Am looking for one if available.
Cheers George.

With a rear mounted rack, what steering arms are you guys using, and do you space then off the stub-axles a bit?

Thanks for the offer Graeme; I feel guilty as I've already got a few bits from you :)
We'll see if anyone needs them first.
cheers, George.

With my v6 the floor front and back got very hot, this is where I had the muffler.
Put in a piece of flat gal sheet as a heat shield between floor and exhaust and that solved the problem.
Suspended on brackets with an air gap between  both floor and exhaust.

Spot on.
Just had fresh paint, which was a bit darker than the colour on it, which had been resprayed anyway.
I prefer the current shade, a PPG mix. :)
