Had the same problem with the AVO shocks, kept chewing up bushes. I also changed to QA1 shocks and springs and haven't had a problem since. No wonder no-one wants to stock AVO's in Australia!

Thanks to all that replied to my request. I have found a tow bar just 5 mins down the road of all places. Now to remove 60yrs of surface rust , weld a couple of brackets on , paint and fit to the car. Will be able to tow the caravan to Toowoomba after all! Cheers, Jack

Not sure if they are the same, if it bolts on to the chassis rails then it would most likely fit as the chassis is the same width.

FE - FC sedan tow bar wanted. Ph 0427044130. Jack

Hi Fred,
           I am running an ecotec V6 in my FC and I fitted a HQ V8 triple cored radiator with a Ford Mondeo shrouded twin thermo fan setup. I have had no trouble with overheating but remember the V6 thermostat doesn't open until the motor reaches 92 degC and under normal running conditions will sit on about 98 degC which is considerably hotter than the old Holden 6. Hope this helps, Jack

All booked in a Big 4 cabin. Looking forward to catching up with all the great people we met in Tassie. Time to start saving for the fuel and beer!. Cheers, Jack and Chris.

Hi JB, glad to see you're making some progress. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the turning circle, I know I was! Mine turned out better than an early commodore. Keep the good work up, Cheers, Jack.

Good stuff JB, sounds great. Looks like you got the right ride height on the front at last. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh. Cheers, Jack

Hi Fraze, I got my seatbelts from Hemco in Ballarat. They were reasonably priced and very helpful staff. The website is  http://www.hemco.com.au/  Cheers, Jack

Thanks to all involved in organising a great Nats. Had a ball catching up with old friends and making new ones. Tassie has so much to offer. Definitely coming back for a second look in the future. Looking forward to Toowoomba in 2016. Take care everyone, Cheers, Jack

Top job Pedro . You deserve a beer or two or three ;D ;D ;D
Well done! Cheers, Jack

A change of plans, I am now going over on the Tues nite 15th, and still returning on Wed nite 23rd. It's nice to have a travel co that doesn't charge you to change bookings!. Cheers, Jack

Hi Guys, just a reminder for the Geelong All Holden Day on Sat 1st March. http://www.fx-hzcarclub.com/geelong-holden-day/holden-day-2014
Cheers, Jack

Looks like I'll be joining the ACT crew, I'm sailing over Wed nite 16th, Chris is flying over on Fri 18th and flying back on Sun 20th due to work commitments, I'll be sailing back on Thurs nite 23rd. Looking forward to this trip!. Cheers, Jack

My mistake JB, yes it was shocks you got off me not springs. I am running 500lb springs on mine so I reckon you might need about 550lb springs. It is a bit of trial and error to get the right height. Best of luck, Jack.

Starting to come together JB, how did you go with the front end?, were the springs you got off me any good? Keep the updates coming , love em!. Cheers, Jack

Looking great JB, nice colour, reminds me of the old Dominator metal flake paint from the late 70's. Hope you make it to Tassie, Cheers, Jack

Looking good JB. Always find when the paint goes on it starts to get exciting, you can see the end drawing closer. Keep up the good work, Cheers, Jack

hello Dean, welcome to the forum. 7 x 13 Dragways will fit depending on the offset of the rims. I had these rims with 205 tyres on my stockie but used to rub on the back guards with a couple of people in the back. It would be best to put the rims on the car before you get tyres and check clearances on full lock both ways and line up outer edge of rim with the lip on the rear guards to determine if the tyres would rub. Hope this helps, Cheers, Jack

Looks great Pedro, won't be long now. Your putting paint on while I'm taking paint off. I know which I'd rather be doing!. Keep the pcs coming, Jack
