Brad, I had heard that you can get new after market 14" HK-T-G rims, but did not know that 13" hr type
were available. Let us know how you go.
Regards Gary

Hey Slim, Why don't you get one of those rear vision cameras like they have on some big semi trailers?
Looks good

Hi Slim / Jim / Rob, There are also amendment bulletins that were sent out to the spare parts sellers to update thier catalogues.
I have several catalogues from dealers that have added these amendment bulletins into the catalogue.
These covered deleted parts, with old & new part no. accessories, all manner of bibs & bobs.
In one of these books, there have been added about 30 pages.
Regards Gary

Slim, I think it has a map of Australia in the centre.
Gary

Cat, mmm, With those number plates you must have presidential aspirations

Probably by the chrome mould on the glovebox lid, the Special is different from the Standard & Business sedan.

Hi Alex, Mate the pics of the meat wagon (Ambulance) are sitting here in the computer, but I haven't worked out how to post them yet.
Regards Gary

Hey Hewart, What do you reckon, Shagin' Wagon? or Survielance Service.  

Hi, Pope batteries at Blacktown NSW will do just about any sort of battery you want.
Gary

Ditto from me Jim, thanks for bringing the nats to us via your digpix, if you have the time I would like to see the lot, my email is botswana@bigpond.com

All the best & good luck with your wheels, give me a call if you need a hand out with any bits.
Regards Gary

Yeah, Looking good Slim.

Hello Jim, I'm Gary, from Penrith NSW, thanks for the report, look forward to hearing more.
Regards Gary

Cripes Slim, I have never seen the backyard as empty as that! & the mill looks almost taller than you, or is it on stands?
By the way the radio description sounds like FE,will have a look when I come over for dog legs.
Gary

Very nice Mike, I can help you out with a pair of matching shoes if you like   (just kidding)

Jason, Looks like a top job, congratulations. I noticed in the earlier pics that your van had what appear to be sliding windows in the front, if you haven,chucked them or sold them I would be interested, as I only have plain glass in my panelvan & I want to fit a rear seat, they would be good for ventilation.
Regards Gary

Slim, Thats a ditto from me to add to the chorus of replies. Regards Gary

Hi Kevin, Does this mod mean that the steering column is now shorter? & if so, by how much.
Did you retain the gear stick tube & 3 on the tree or are you floor shift?

Hi Craig, Go to a large plumbing suppliers (not hardware) with the outside diameter. You used to be able to get a stainless steel doover that closely resembles the original (take picture or sketch) the only catch is that the inside diameter will probably be too small & have to be cut to suit. I have an original if you want to borrow it to show to the suppliers.
Regards Gary

Howie, Up until around 18mths - 2 years ago you could still order 6.50 x 13" crossplys over the counter at most tyre dealers, I was told they were still in manufacture then for caravan builders.
You may still be able to get them, if not, an offshore brand may be available. Good Luck!

Hi Stinky, From memory when I did my FE I was advised to use a stubby straight edge screwdriver & hammer, working very slowly & carefully, starting at the front.

Once you get it started you only have to tap it here & there, be extra careful at the corners & in the middle.

Good luck! Regards Gary.
