Hi all,
Can anyone please make available the dimensions for the front end location spacers?
I need the dimensions for both the 3A5 Upper control arm location spacer and 3A6 Lower control arm location spacer as shown on page 77, section 3-23 in the shop manual. Just the clamp width will probably do.
Thanks all

Theo

Too easy really. Fill the 'B' pillar above the belt line with foam rubber. Its a tight gap in the pillar to get through and access is by removing the side panels in the ute tub, but believe me it worked.

Problem is now fixed.

Hi all,
I don't post often but keep an eye on the forum. I've recently finished restoring my FE ute as a stable mate for my FE sedan.
I have a interesting question. The ute has a new headlining to go with all the other new trim etc.
Anyway, everything looks great and the new upholstery looks terrific but.....when I'm driving along at speed (for a grey motor) at 50MPH or more the headlining balloons down significantl between the bows when I open a quarter vent or a window. The faster  I go the more the headlining balloons. Does anybody have an explanation for this? And more importantly, a solution? The ute also has a sunvisor, I don't know if this influences anything but...?.
Thanks all
Theo

Thanks Ken, I'll follow up on that.

I know that this has been discussed before but....
My FE ute paint code is 256-7466, Levant Green.
I haven't been able to track down a paint formula for this but have come across references to Hialeah Green being the same?
Can someone please straighten me out; and where can I get the formula for Levant Green in acrylic?
While I'm at it; where can I get vynil for the upholstery, 175-559 Lagoon Green?
Thanks all
Theo

Can anyone tell me where you can get rust repair sections for FE/FC front mudguards? I require the  piece for the bottom rear of a RH front guard.
Rarespares don't do it anymore.
Thanks all.

Tayz,
I am interested in the Smith's heater and lots of other goodies besides. I'm in Ballarat, give me a call on 0407051736 I'd love to come around and see what I can buy.
Regards theo

Rusty, where are you located? I'm currently demolishing my donor as my FE is finished and you're welcome to come help yourself. I'm located in Ballarat.

Can somebody advise what is the correct colour for the radiator grille upper baffle. When I acquired my 1957 FE  I got two baffles one painted body colour the other engine bay black. Which is correct? I currently have it in body colour but am not aure if I should leave it at that. Thanks

Theo

Thanks Ken, wipers are sorted. Theo

I've nearly got the FE finished and am preparing it for a roadworthy.
I'm not happy with the vacuum wipers
Does anybody have any electric setups available. I need the lot, motor, switch ,link arms etc.
Thanks
Theo

Took me a while to get back. Thanks for the advise.
