I also am trying to fit a new headliner to my FC sedan.

I am now at the stage of getting some paid professional help to do the job for me - any suggestions for someone in Brisbane who can do it??

thanks.  ??? ???

here is another reply......



I don't have one.     :o :o

I am looking for a set of front door hinges that have unbroken springs.

Please send me a pm if you have some to sell.   ;D ;D

oldgmh.

no

Come on guys - stop taking the piss out of the bloke - all he wants to do is remove his knob.   ::) ::)

The correct way to do it is :

pull it very hard ( maybe a couple of pulls ) and you should feel it when it happen and releases..... so keep pulling until it happens ... :o :o

there is a small screw with an allan key head located underneath the handle.   :o :o

hey sleemo.

i dont' have one, but do you want to sell your rims?  lol?

:o :o

found the cylinder in the shed ... it's not too bad .... was thinking of ebaying it along with some other stuff to get rid of....









also an old oil bath air filter, complete grill, bumper brackets, a twin carby manifold and a few more bits'n' pieces.

::) ::)

i have a rust free tin with a good lid hiding in the shed somewhere..... is it worthwhile getting it out?   

ie are they worth anything?? ???    ???  ???

Excellent job  :o :o - looks like you have some welding skills which are needed for this project.  :o

Will you be using the complete wiring loom from the donor? 

Where are you located in Queensland?   ???   I am doing a similar project at Nundah.

regards oldgmh. 

thanks for the replies.

I pulled the existing leaking wheel cylinders off the car and after cleaning them up, found they had already been resleeved with stainless steel. 

The pistons were stuck quite solid but with a bit of hammer persuasion they came out.
The front cylinders had steel pistons which were pitted while the rears had alloy pistons that were in better condition.   ??? ???

Have fitted new cups and they should be okay.   ;D

(The car had been sitting for about 10 years)

oldgmh.   :D :D

thanks ken - will get them re sleeved.   ;D

I have a collection of FE/FC hubcaps

.... most are chrome and i have a couple of alloy ones

.... where did the alloy ones originate from? 

:o :o

 I need 4 new brake cylinders for my FC.

Are they still available somewhere  ??? ???

or do I have to get the existing ones re-sleeved   ??? ???

I wonder if hoppers stoppers have them ......  ken? ....

thanks.   ;D

thanks.   ;D ;D

Are the FE the same as FC?   ???

Almost all banjo diffs up to HX holdens were coarse spline, whereas HZ onwards were fine spline.

Perfomance cars like XU1's generally had fine spline banjo diffs.

Salisbury diffs are completely different again.

you should be able to pick up a complete coarse spline 3.36 or 3.55 quite cheap. 

have fun.   ;D ;D

wheels are sold.   ;D

What about auto WB commercials?   ???

They were mainly column shift, and used a left hand side selector gearbox - maybe trimatic, but the crossover selector setup would be similar to the T350/400.

just a thought.   ;D
