Carby clean in the can will remove petrol stains, as will prepsol or thinners

An alternative is to take your old fuel line to a brake specialists, and they can make you a new fuel line in the bigger Bundy tube (Bundy tube is steel tubing which has been copper coated, simple explanation anyway). Brake specialists bend this tube all the time.

Good Luck

If you are after someone in Brisbane (or close) I would go see Rod's Racks in beaudesert, he does a beautiful conversion kit for V6 etc. He has a web site just do a google search and he will appear. From memory the site has various options and prices.
Good Luck

Effie has a HR front (Discs) and HR rear diff fitted and also seatbelts fitted to the front and rear (huge modifications), these are mods in Qld which are certified and approved by registered certifiers, Effie has the paperwork and the compliance plate fitted for all these mods. Like yours ACT rego where quite fine with the acceptance of the Qld certifcation, Just NSW trying to make up for years of slack arse car inspections; and no doubt trying to get Ian for more fees.

I'll take the EK metal seat surrounds if they are OK to fit the FC Ute seat.

Kevin they fit except for the mounting screw brackets (on the bottom of the FC seat) are in a different place, not hard to move them thou. I used the FB ?Ek corners on Effie C

check out the Vic EH holden site as they have a great how to on how to fit rear discs and the pit falls. You will have to join the site to access the info.
John M

yes and an engineers ticket / compliance plate for motor / seatbelts

If you are leaving the grey motor do not even worry about the red motor engine mounts just laeve them where they are.

You will have to modify the handbrake cable / mounts to make it fit; also you will have to change the rear uni joint on your tailshaft. If possible use the HR mounting saddles and bolts to the rear springs and not your current U Bolts.
You will also have to use a combination of spring to saddle mounting rubbers, from memory the HR unit on top and an FC ute bottom rubber (it is thicker then the sedan rubber, rares have them). The ute rubbers just make it easier to get the bolts to take up, if using sedan rubber suggest getting new bolts with a slightly longer thread then the standard ones.

Good Luck

Just use the old landrover trick, reuse that old choke cable and hook it to the throttle, instant cruise control   (braking is a bit hard when the motor won't stop reving thou}

Thanks Craig,
Max would not even come out to see effie go. I can see some serious making up is going to be needed.
The new owner has already joined this site and I think he will be contacting the NSW club. By the way Effie has converted him as he was a ford fan, apparently his friends from the capri club think he has lost the plot. If only they could see the light themselves.

See yas around

Alas Effie C is sold , the new owner flys in this afternoon and is driving her home to Sydney.

My 4 1/2 year old is no longer talking to me for selling Effie (for the first time in 4.5 yrs peace and quite )

I hope the new owner takes my advice and joins this forum and also the NSW club as he will never do any better then this forum for a bunch of helpful and decent people.

PS I will still be around haunting this site.

so you now have several large chunks of hard plastic bouncing around in your sump.

Isn't that what the strainer on the oil pump is for??

Sounds like the electronic module in the distributor has gone west, the module switches on the negative side of coil. Really only two ways to check, fit a new one or take to auto spark / tuning house and get them to test with their gear.

Deposit Taken today , looks like Effie C will be moving to Sydney; I have suggested to the new prospective owner that he joins this site and possibly the FC club in Sydney .  Thanks for all the enquiries and well wish’s
Will keep informed as to progress.
John M

As much as I hate to have to do it Effie C is up for sale due to my inability to drive her anymore (health) .

It is over two years since my last post on this, whats happening

Effie C

Rare Spares do front tie rail replacement and rust repair sections for front of chassis rails, if done properly should be no problems with rego.

Looks like a very nice car,  I wouldn't mind it in my collection

The other FC (commonly termed  as f'ing C) had a depress four speed with 14" wheels and 3.55 ratio, just perfect around town and on the highway, it was mounted behind a grey.
