G'day one and all,

parts now withdrawn from sale.......

thanks for your interest.

Graeme

Rod,

Have sent you a message re your project.

Graeme

Hey Cool,

No worries, ask and you will receive......

I am on the road a bit between Ballarat - Melbourne - Kerang, in vic so if you ever need anything picked up, just yell.

Graeme

Cool,

my son-in-law works in Bendigo - could organise something there for you. what are the details

Graeme

Hey Fat,

Got under again and the best i could measure was 1230 end to end.  Again, that may be give or take a mil or two.

I have some photo's of the radiator I can email to you - what is your email address....

Graeme

Fatboy:

The diff is 1380 outer drum face to outer face drum, give or take a mill or two.  Diff is installed in my fc with rear leaf springs in their standard position.  It was setup to run the 15 x 7 chev rally wheels with 215/70 tyres with good clearance.

Brett:

The radiator is approx 665 wide by 415 high.  It is essentially a standard VL Commodore radiator with a couple of inches taken out of the height so it would fit height wise into the fc radiator hole (widended to suit). It has a thicker core fitted to compensate for the reduced height.  Tanks are on the sides, NOT top and bottom. The car is not a V8 but running a VL Commodore 6 and auto.


Graeme

Hey Tayz,

That is bloody good news - well done.  

My business is going thru its quiet time and need to fund it for a while so will get rid of some replaceable bits and when things get busy and people start paying I will replace them.

Not selling the body and trim, etc...... might put the motor and box on the market, depends how quick things pick up......

I am home most nites during the week, and will be around all weekend, just give me a yell when you are coming.

Graeme

Will do over the weekend Fat and pm you the results.

Graeme

Thanks Phantom and Tayz.

Yeah I wish the wagon was on the road.  Slowly, slowly..........

Geez, I feel old this morning...........

Give me a yell anytime Tayz and enjoy the break and get heaps done that great looking fc.

Hey Phantom, how is your beast going.  Did you get your wipers sorted out?

Graeme

Tony,

Have replied, thanks mate.

Graeme

Cooky,

You can try to screw them out - dose them up with wd40 first and wait a while.  Otherwise just belt the living daylights out of them.  Mine came out ok with a few decent whacks and no damage to the thread.

Graeme

Hi Tony,

I am interested in dash with speedo.  Can you pm price and your details.  I work in melbourne one day a week so could organise to pick upm at some stage.

Graeme

Niiiicccceee.

And got the mattress set up in garage ready for those late nites doing whatever it is you are goind to do to it........

Graeme

Tayz,

I have a box full of various size grommets - come and help yourself.

Graeme

Looking good, Paul.  Love that FJ  grill....  

Will try and catch you during the week - been putting some time into the wagon this weekend, bloody wiring........

Graeme

Sensational, Leon.............

Graeme

Leon,

My braided hose was made up by ENZED and has been through a roadworthy with no problems.

Graeme.

G'day Leon,

after reading progress of your rebuild, maybe you should move to ballarat - cant get it to rain here at all........

from memory mine cost around $45.00, but that was a few years ago. will check prices again here on monday and if cheaper than your price, i could get it made up here and mail it up to you.

graeme

Leon,

Flexible braided brake line on my wagon is 435mm end to end including fittings and my wagon is lowred 4 - 4 1/2 inches at rear.

Graeme
