1  Technical Board / Modification Help / Banjo Trutrac? on: August 18, 2025, 09:17:42 PM
The HR Banjo LSD centre in the old girl isn't sounding so good under load, so I am looking at options before I start pulling things apart.
Is it more cost effective to sort out the LSD or should I opt for a Trutrac?

I don't go to drags or anything like that, just the odd "spirited" acceleration from the lights etc.

Some photos of the set up I put in the FB ute with 179 and Aussie M15 three speed all synchro box.

Crossmember is modified HT item, shortened and folded.

Front ends weld to no1 body member behind inner subframe leg connectors. Rear angles up and welded to the box seam under the seat.

The last of the Mint Green "swirly" roof lining, I was saving it for my station sedan.
$450.00 Includes postage within Australia and 2 swatches large enough to do the sun visors.
I can supply the sun visor covers for an additional $60, no edge binding though.

If it is the section I am thinking about, by the dash and kick panel, I just wedged the windlace tail all in there.

Thanks Kraka, I have one on my FE Sedan that I can copy. I was mainly fishing for more elegant DIY solutions, I've got a few responses on Facebook so far.
7  Technical Board / Modification Help / Gearbox Crossmember/Chassis Kit. on: March 26, 2025, 06:11:41 PM
One of the last puzzle pieces for my panel van is to sort out the gearbox crossmember, the old one was some booger welded SHS that had a 5mm wall thickness, and was just bolted to the floor with spacers.
I'd like to do a neater job but I'm reluctant to fork out $1K for a CRS chassis kit when I only really need the rails and crossmember.

Has anyone done a DIY arrangement? Any tips or tricks?

Have you seen this mob?
Classic style LED headlights, doubt you'd need an alt upgrade for them.

Those hinges are a work of art!
It'd be interesting to get some time frames on some of the work pieces.

Hi Harv, sorry for my ignorance, are FC/EK front seats interchangable?

Yes, they are, FE/FC seat backs are slightly taller than FB-EK though.

19  Technical Board / Restoration Help / FE Standard front bench seat. on: January 05, 2024, 06:31:23 PM
Of all of the FE/FC front bench seats that I have recovered the backrests have always had side openings with sleeves that are held together with an internal zig-zag wire and hog rings, this is then covered with the plastic trims.

I currently have an FE Standard seat in my workshop that has no side openings and no side plastic, is this factory standard or am I looking at a very old custom seat re-trim?

I found this on eBay ($95) plus postage. Says it is FE; however, suspect that it is FC.

Also, don't waste your money. I have one you can borrow, just PM me your postal address.
