I just bought a can of this to use when I start to assemble my wagon shortly.

Looks & smells just like el-cheapo tyre shine to me , expensive at $35 though , is there more to it or am I just cynical ?

I would be interested to get the MSDS's and compare.

Ian.
There dont seem to be any, I wonder if it gets around wh&s legislation?

I am in the process of fitting my new rooflining have the wire stays in place ,front and rear fixed with large paper clips what should I be using for the glue  mickrat. [/IMG]
Stinky made my rooflining looks fantastic,  a good trick for holding the glued lining is bits of pinchweld instead of paper clips

Hi mate, I have a rear rack from rods racks, he uses hq power steering arms as they are shorter, no bump steer or clearance issues. Bit hard to find but they are around, I will take a photo if you want.

Bump! What's happening with this project?

Can you provide some info on the ICU you're using?

Cheers,

Josh.
Hi josh, I will take a few photos by the end of the week. Ecu is microtech, I can tune these fairly easy with 1200 cc injectors, the ignition is a 7amp ice unit with 16 volt booster through a standard locked electronic distributor. Just doing body work atm but should also fire up engine within next week as the alloy welding is now complete. Phew
Thanks
Grant

Brake light feed power supply white wire goes to the column switch assay through two sets of contacts back out to the violet and pink wires back to the stop light globes when the indicators are operated depending what side is switched this supply is opened  and the flasher supply yellow is switched  to either the violet or the pink depending what side is selected. It all takes place within the column switch assembly. The diagram you are looking at is a bit deceiving. Mickrat
Yep yep thanks mickrat that makes sense. Diagram as you say a bit confusing.
Thanks also pete

Hi all, have done a search but cannot find an answer. I am putting a new loom in the car and want the rear lights to work as factory (flashing brake lights).  So studying the factory diagram some wiring does  not make sense

http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/images/wiring.gif

If you look at the stop lamp  switch it appears to join a white, pink and violet together? The pink and violet go to the stop,rear turns left and right lights. I am hoping someone can help me understand how with this wired this way that the right or left indicator  would not both together when just indicating right or left?  I get how it operates if you were braking.

Thanks grant

Yeah, ok so this residual pressure valve is the little bowler hat shaped valve you take out when you use a drum brake master for a clutch or disc brakes with say a HR front end . So will I need it to put a VR booster and master [fire wall mounted] on a disc drum combo ? Like I said ,it works fine on my first Vauxhall . Haydn
It gives you a better pedal feel, it you have rear drums adjusted well as you say will work aok.

As I said this must be considered when lowering your ute . But no , I am simply trying to use a VR sedan master cylinder on my Vauxhall hardtop , exactly the same torana front and rear ends as the convertible and it works fine on the convertible for the last 5 years [put the inspector up against the windshield back then] but he said to me I should ask someone who does brake if it is ok . So my brake guy [if not me] has retired after some 25 years [he used to ask me about these mix and match jobs] and now I can't find anyone who makes sense . I would be inclined to think that a disc disc  valve off a sedan would favour the front slightly more than a disc drum valve and would therefore work well as in my Vauxhall there would be on balance more weight over the front

Hi Haydn, the only thing I would say you might need is to adda residual valve, willwood make them $25 I think

Residual valves are pressure valves used to retain pressure in the lines. The most common use is on a hot rod when there is a floor mounted brake pedal and master cylinder. Mounting the master cylinder (M/C) below the floor positions it below the calipers. Gravity will cause the fluid to flow away from the calipers. The residual valve will retain pressure within the lines. (i.e. 2 pounds residual valve will retain 2 pounds of pressure, 10 pound will retain 10 pounds.) Drum brake master cylinders have residual valve(s) built into the master cylinder. This is needed to maintain pressure against the cup seals in the wheel cylinders. If you are using a disc brake master cylinder or after market you will need to install a 10 pound residual valve for the drum brakes. Do not install a residual valve if your master cylinder already has one in it. This will cause the brakes to lock up after the second application to the brake pedal.
