Technical Board / General Technical / Re: front wheel camber

All the Holdens have positive camber built into the settings....best for normal day to day operations. The castor settings will definitely make a difference to your lightness of steering....make sure the isolating rubbers are of the correct description and torqued down to the proper "crush". Also be sure the extension engine mount tongue hasn't been bent at any time in the past, as this will "throw" the crossmember and can upset the castor angle....

PT 58 .. Are you leaning toward thinking the subframe may be original ?...check all the bolt heads, washers, nuts and attaching hardware, and if there seems they are all correct and appropriate to each other, and not a cobbled up mish-mash, the subframe may still be correct.
...you say it's a low numbered body...how low ?...as there would've been pre-production and pilot models getting around very early on....apparently these earliest vehicles had no chassis numbers ??

Technical Board / General Technical / Re: difference between panel van and ute floor
|

...G'day Waynos .. late reply to an old topic .. the FE/FC panel van and wagon used the same tailgate, whereas the ute used an entirely different end gate. I'm pretty sure the lower gate hinge area would've been a little different between the van and ute, and possibly the location of the fuel tank...??

...Hi Ken, Terry and All .. did the big FE/FC oil bath air cleaner have a strut brace like the FJ..?? ...It was dimensionally bigger than the FJ style, but I've never seen an FE/FC one with any kind of strut to the rocker cover nut  |

...would the reverse light option be part of a factory fit ? (as well as being offered as an accessory ?)...
...the only reason I mention this is that the wiring loom must've been designed to cater for it, as well as the clear lenses provided ?

All FE and FC up to October 1959 had a tail light consisting of a red upper tail / stop / indicator lens and a lower clear lens for the optional reverse lights.
The late FCs had an upper red tail / stop light and a lower orange indicator lens which also doubled as the optional reverse lights.

...G'day Ken and All .. how common was the reverse light option, and to what models would you see that option mainly exercised ? Cheers to All |
