I still call in and check the effie's out, actually my old fc is for sale on car sales in Brisbane about 20k's from we're I used to live :)

Here I thought you going to post a picture of your garage

maybe we could classify them as "warning or tell tale lights" idiot is such a derogatory word and i may take offence ;)

actually Ed does the dash have the plastic dash surround ? ( serious question time)

cheers
dean

Dean only the more sophisticated FC had the surround, the FE was a plain jane  dash

Here is another not quite so bad as the first.

Jim This one is for the deaF ::)

Only just saw your request, if you need a shield I have a few other here. Hope Jacks are OK

Sorry five went to the tip a couple of weeks ago, isn't always the way.

that was Alex's (customfc) shift mod... very tidy.

and here it is

http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,750.0.html

That's it and very nicely done from memory as the pictures currently come up as little red X's (starblvde hosting) Alex may be able to send the pictures if asked nicely. ;D

I remember seeing an article in a magazine some years ago in regard to the forward mounted shifter.

Not sure if still on this forum but one of the members made up his own and posted pictures and drawings on this site about two to three years ago. RET may be able to help out.

I have a M20 with bellhousing to suit a grey in the garage, bell housing has side mounts cast into it. (Will check brand tomorrow, but have had the box etc for twenty years now). It mounted to the back of the grey the same as the orig box and just hung there till rust got to the car and I cut it up. I also purchased through Rare Spares a M20 to grey body rear cross member kit which I never got around to using (yea its in the garage as well).

I have a set of 60 thou OS pistons to suit the 149, I am sure JSM will check out when he gets the motor

Dean the distributor has two springs fitted to the counter weights this are there to stop the centrifugal advance from just swinging straight to full advance a soon as the distributor turns if you remove the springs and fit solid links instead so that the weights no longer can swing out this will in effect nullify your centrifugal advance without actual destroying the distributor.

A sad day for the car loving fraternity, He can now rag on Roy again thou.

Fitzy is changing the car again, now has full hotrod style running gear under it, hq subframe has gone and is now installed in a V8 FC ute.

Theres a mob out at Beaudesert but the names I can not remember at the moment,
. Ring Beaudesert exhausts they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Looks OK next to the others in there box

Wayne you can fit the later HK T G lightswitchs as well but as stated you will have to fit spade terminals to the wires, but from the front of the dash you can not tell as the FE / FC knob shaft and bezel fit the later models. It is an easy changeover.

Dave_EH if you do a search I wrote a lengthy reply on how to do this once before. :)

Rare Spares do a red motor to grey body set of weld in mounts, those pictures definitely need resizing.

Any one know how the steering connects up from HR into FC???
Any photos??? I think I may be missing a part (pitman arm)
Does the FC steering links fit or are they short??

Nes
You will need the HR pitman arm, it fits in place of the FC one without any problems, the HR steering setup leaves the FC one for dead. Make sure your steering biox is up to shape and has no slop in it.

Also suggest checking out the local FE FC Club in Brissie, quite a few modified FC's (V8's) etc and a wealth of local info to tap into.
