Looking to purchase a towbar to suit my EK Holden ute. From what I understand, the towbars for utes were common for FE, FC, FB and EK. Note that the ute/van towbars are very different to the sedan/wagon towbars.

I know that Aranda towbars makes a new ute towbar (Part No T2H212), but am looking to lay my hands on an older one if possible as the Aranda ones are weight limited to 1000kg.

Happy to pay for a good unit and postage/freight.

Cheers,
Harv

Hi , ive got the off white diamond pattern material on the floor and up the back seat and tail gate . Does it go over wheel arches as well or was that painted or covered with car color scheem color , ie . Blue , as my car and trim are blue and white . Thanks .

Thanks heaps . Been trying for years

Trying now

getting close . i can do the bit up to the pink arrow. What now .where is the image button and how do you paste. Ps im on an android phone .if it matters .

Holden grey  crash boxes do . There is a  cast circle on them that indicate month and year . Dont think diffs have anything other than ratio on them

I have my old ones in canberra . Not sure about shrinkage but could  send your way if nothing else comes up

Sorry, message meant to read they are available on ebay and are good after a bit of work . And if you were near canberra and wanted to copy mine to make some that would be fine too .  Cheers

Ive got a set of spats on my wagon . Got them off ebay . They needed minor panel work before paint as all bracet/ clips are spot welded on . But they are good . Im in canberra so probably no help anyway

My old mans fc super charged 186 trimatic  trans with hurst shifter cable opperated is having trouble  finding gears.  Seems ok when in shed but went for test drive today before mondays engineering appointment and has trouble going from drive to neural. Cant find neutral. Untill going into reverse and back again then  starts In drive.  Have spent ages getting it to adjust to get all gears but still a bit wrong,.  Has anyone had probs with hurst shifter cable set up or do I need to be smartteerrrr.with adjustments. ?  Thanks

Cheaper crome platter , be careful . I've just finnished an fc wagon that I don't keep receipts for as too sad price wise, but when I done my ek panelvan I got the bumpers done at a good price . Problem is they had rust bubbles before it left the shed. Had never been wet and I'm in Canberra . Electro platting technology in queanbean is great from my and my friends experiece . Might cost though . Think it was $300 for bonnet emblem on fc alone . Good though .

I cant do pics but if you want to pm me i could foward email of pic and price that sms sent me. Looks good.

Glenn that sounds good to me. I didnt ask roll price as way too much material for me to unload but would work out cheaper. I have a fully restored fc wagon that only needs the rear cargo area done to roll out on the road so keen as. I will leave it for now and touch base with you in a couple of weeks to see how its going. I was lucky enough to need the light blue roof linning that turned up instead of the white last time so bad for eveyone else but a win for me . thanks again for that. viv

yeah got a wagon. Tryed trimmers but havnt found anything close enough to oliginal yet. Will go to clarke rubbers today and look but havnt noticed any before .Its off white diamond pattern vynal.

Hi all , im about to order material from sms auto fabrics in the US that looks like a good match for the original diamond pattern. It is going to cost me $225 for 3yards off the roll of 52 or 54 inches and that is enough to do rear area, and postage around $150. Might get better for buying more. Im getting some regardless but if anyone else thinks they might like some let me know and i will order a bit more. Im ready to order now so be quick. I dont want money now just want to know if there are two or three others interested. Viv

Ok thanks. i thought that was how i done the ek years ago but was told otherwise so only had half a go. will make a propper effort now i know thats the correct way thanks
