Along the way to Dubbo, many strange sightings

Day of the Triffids

On our way, Molong

Have to say I've been running the Wilsonia guage set in a few cars for some time now
Only issue was a slight oil leak in one of them at the guage

No issues apart from that as yet but mine are on grey not red motors all with generators

I have installation instructions somewhere so will post when found

Alex  posted  a feature on a 50 amp version in Accesory of the week, perhaps that model might be more suited to an alternator

its already gone straight to the poolroom with the others Alex, thanks and have a great Christmas and New Year everyone!

Hi Jeff

is it the old style NSW black on yellow ?

Gary

I don't think this would be in the book I found this amidst a pile of NOS FE FC parts some time ago, there were a few but this was the best surviving example due to the ravages of time
It fits in the boot floor, possibly to protect parts during transport?
I've christened it The Boot Doona

I got my sign from a dealer along Parramatta Rd but I think it was closer to the Vauxhall inn end

It was back in late 80's or early 90's I was heading for work & saw this place being either demolished or re purposed

Anyway, I was able to park & walk in (no worksafe back then) laying on the ground a little worse from the years & the removal from the roof was this sign in enamelled letters
GENERAL MOTORS PARTS DIVISION

Asked the only worker around if I could have it? fully expecting a NO but after a little begging i got a YES, couldn't believe it, but then I had to wrestle it onto my wagon

It's been painted white over the enamel but recently re started cleaning them up

In Accesory of the week section there is a 50 amp version of the Wilsonia gauge

They do turn up occasionally

Can't help with sunvisor area atm
Do have an FE ute here and the headliner on the B pillar has come adrift near the top of the seat
There appears to be just tar paper / board underneath in this location, type you find stuck to the floor and roof

Here is another angle showing the other part of the bracket, the cross-ply tyre only just fits against the tyre supports, depending on choice of tyre wheel combo, the spare may not fit in the space without some mods

Glen, is the silver fleck windlace available?

Gary

I'll take one!
This looks great Mal, a lot of thought and work there has paid off

Sedan, ute, wagon ?

Could be mate, there are the remains of numbers below it

Has anyone seen this type of sticker before or know what it relates to?
Any help appreciated
Looks a bit small for a Learner

This is an image of FE FC Ute & Van guard mirror, the Nasco mirror heads are similar to HD through to HG and were repoed by Rare Spares
Haven't been able to locate a definite correct door mirror but there are many Nasco & Wybroc types to suit





This a link to an old thread

This is an original guard mirror that was on FC panelvan and Ute (this one has a different mirror head but stalk is original)

Not sure about FE door mirrors can check tomorrow

Reason being Ute's are non captive to allow for complete lowering of endgate for level loading as with no bumperettes or external tailgate handle to get in the way as on wagon / van
Do have to be careful of towbars though

Way back in the mists of time I made my own and it works!
