G,Day Guys

If anyone can help, I,m looking for a pair of the stainless mouldings that fit to the lower seat corners on FC.
I thought that I had them, but it turns out they are from an FB.

Many thanks.  George

Thanks for the input guys. I will give Antique Tyres a ring and see how I go.

HI All

I,ts a grey motor I think the head is EJ. The springs with the caps on are the correct specs.

Thanks George

Hi Guys

The shop manual gives specs for valve springs as, free length 2.211 in approx.
Does this measurement include the spring cap ?

Hi Alex

I doubt if Syd would still be alive today, as he was about 60YO back then. However I will try and track down Peter, see what info I can find out and I,ll post it.

WHAT A BLAST FROM THE PAST

I remember this car, I used to work with Peters father (Old Syd Brackenridge) and I recall Syd Bringing it into work one day. If my memory serves me right, it was 1968 and Peter was an apprentice Panel Beater, or he may have just finished his time. I can recall that the radio ant was recessed into the l/h/f/ guard and it had a custom roof lining, also it had a red motor, which was not uncommon at the time, however this one was not cramped (lengthwise) and I can recall Syd saying that Peter had extended the length of the front end. On reflection this would have been a major custom. My most vived recollection was and still is that I was very envious and most impressed.  Now that I am restoring an FC, I was only thinking about this very car a few days ago 

I,ts great to see that it is still surviving after 40 years.

Hi Guys

I,m a bit concerned about fitting the old riveted rims to my FC. I was wondering about welding along the joints for added strength, has anyone done this or could it cause a problem that I cant see ?

Hi Guys

Looking for a set of Hold Open Springs for the front door hinges or Hinges complete with springs for my FC. On the FB/EK although the hinges are different the springs are the same, so a set of complete hinges for these would get me out  of trouble if anyone can help.
