Aaron,
Also the wire from B+ at regulator to battery lead connection at starter motor needs to be removed.
OR
Instead of connecting ammeter wire to regulator, disconnect the wire at starter motor ( wire from B+ terminal at regulator) and join ammeter wire to it.
Mal

Aaron,
I wired my ammeter in the sixties, during my resto I rewired it using this method.
One wire from ammeter to the battery lead connection
at starter motor.
The other wire to the rearmost voltage regulator terminal (B+).
I used 30amp wire and soldered the wire terminals.
When the headlamps etc are turned on the ammeter needle should go towards the minus (-) if it goes towards the plus (+) reverse the terminals at ammeter

Hi Stinky,
I agree with previous comments. Just had my screens fitted by an experienced installer. He had previously
told me to buy the screen rubbers from a well known supplier in Melbourne because their product is local and
the best fit.
When fitting the front screen he noticed the markings
showed it was from a Taiwan manufacturer. He didn't
notice if the rear had the same markings.
THE REAR WAS A VERY POOR FIT compared to the GMH original fitment.

My computer hasn't been working for a few days, now it is working I was about to write a message with the
heading "Another FE on the road"
Thanks Craig for your advice and support since I joined the club also thanks to the committee and members of the NSW club.
The forum has a wealth of  info on it which has been a big help.
Still have plenty of work to do chroming, engine and gear box reconditioning etc.
I have a few old black and white photos of the car including one when the car was new with me beside it
plus restoration progress photos which I will post later

Hi Nunzio,

My car was fitted with Goodyear 640 x 13 4ply tubeless tyres when new. I think there were other suppliers also.

I purchased a hinge with good springs from Slim.

Punched out rivets carefully and also removed rivets from mine. Used the best rivets to re-assemble mine.

Works good. (They never held on a steep incline when new)

Cheers

Hi Jock

I have painted my car with PPG acrylic and will be going to a PPG outlet  tomorrow for more paint so will check them out.

Thanks for the advice.

Mal

Does anyone know where I can purchase colour matched vinyl paint? (I'm in Sydney).

I've had my front seat retrimmed by an upholsterer, who also colour sprayed the rear seat and squab to match front seat. Looks new but cost heaps.

I would like to paint the door trims to match the fall red and parchment ivory seats

Hi Jim

One speedo was removed from a car that I wrecked 30
years ago. The other has been in my car which hasn,t been driven for 25 years. Both speedos were operating then.

Thanks for your advice

Mal

Hi Craig

Thanks for the offer, 1 is complete and the other is in many pieces. Been trying to free it with WD40. See you at the meeting.

Thanking you Mal

Jim

I have 2 speedos that haven't been used for over 25 years. They were working then but now both are seized. Do you know how yours was repaired.

Mal

Thanks Jim great photos of FEs and also FCs.
They all look like they were just driven out of the showroom.
Mal

Fantastic photos would love to be there. Makes me all the keener to finish restoring my FE Special sedan which i've owned since new (October 1957)
