oh! the other thing was I saw somewhere that you can get front belts fitted without having to drill right through the pillar?

I know it's in here somewhere but i need seatbelt for my FC. I want red ones. I'm in Melbourne.

Cheers Rick

Thanks for your help. Now does anyone have one they want to sell?? I'll put a post and the wanted section and see what can be dug up. I have 80 series radial whitewalls on it. They sould be right i'd think??

Cheers Rick

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is a diff that would go in my FC that would get it cruising better on the freeway? It's totally stock but as I live in the outter suburbs of Melbourne anywhere I go It's Freeway or country roads.
I just want to get the rev's down a bit. I dont mind just doing 80k's but when I'm driving on a road that has gravel edges and I have a line of cars behind me it gets a bit frustrating for everyone else as well as myself as I cant keep pulling off the side all the time.  A diff centre would be best as I have just replaced all my brake bits. Any advice would be great.

Cheers Rick

They are a great anti-theft device. lol

Hi all, I am in need of a right hand (drivers side) Upper control arm as mine has issues. I tried a couple of wreckers but they dont have one or they want $75 for one. I think that is a bit steep. Let me know if that is the going rate but I doubt it. Any help/leads appreciated. Cheers Rick

Hi, thanks for your advice. I have found that the thread is a bit dogdey on the control arm. Maybe this is it? I'll get another 1 and see how it goes. Cheers Rick

Hi all, I seem to have a problem with the upper control arm on my fc?? I have replaced king pins and bushes ect got everything done and was at torque rench stage getting everything thightened up right and the last bolt i come to is the drivers side upper outer bush. I cant get it to tighten to 80 pounds it just pulls the ends of the control arm in.....Do I just need another control arm or is there something strange happening? I hate that it's always the last one!!!!! Does any one have one that they could spare in Melbourne. Cheers Rick

Hi, Hope someone can help. I am replacing the upper inner control arm bushes on my FC and need a upper control arm location spacer to install them. Tool number 3 A 5. That's whats in the book anyway. without it, it will be difficult to tighten the bushes without putting the control arm off centre. Does anyone have 1 which i doubt or does anyone know how i can do this another way. Any info would be greatly apreciated. Cheers Rick

Hi all, just wondering if Rare Spares is the only option for King Pins? I read in a recent post that OBSOLUTE SPARES in NSW is an option? Has anyone got there number or is there anyone in Melbourne doing them. Any help would be appreciated. Also is $80 the going rate for wheel cylinders?  Cheers Rick
