Rare Spares

[I have made & used the tool in the manual and its dimensions are for the FE boot spring (That's why it's in the FE part of the manual)  ]

Hi
The same drawing is in the FB manual, from what I can see in one above same dimensions.

I had my paint mixed up from orinigal code by the spartan paint dealer(Cant Remember Name) located one street off Moss Street in Springwood. They went to great trouble to get right, contacted HQ in Melbourne. Ended up with perfect match.

  Hello All Club Members
Just as a matter of interest, what are the other "Clubs" in OZ doing in regarding to Public Liability Insurance?
As Shannons have pulled the pin as well as a lot of other companies, where and from whom have you being able to get public liability insurance from?
Our club is currently searching for someone to take Shannons place as we must hold insurance all the time and not just for the odd show.
Any Suggestions?

As per usual a great job being done by yourself, I feel the nationals should be placed within the events section and hopefully it will be up dated by those in the know, no matter what state they are from.
As to inner private club areas I think you already know my feelings about that.
We all enjoy our particular models of car and does it really hurt to share the information around.
Thanks again

 :)Favourite Car well I have to say FC Holden, I have owned many a Holden, ford, Valiant, Mini Minor and even a Vanguard but I still love my FC.
Current stock in the shed, 1 x 1998 SS Commodore, 2 x FC Holden Sedans and 1 x 1994 Commodore Wagon, plus the work supplied Holden Combo van.
As to V8 supercars never brand use a motor available to the general public, the Ford’s use a US nascar block as a basis and the Holden’s use a narrow V Chev block also supplied from the US. Apart from the general body shape neither vechile is really representive of what the average Joe blow can drive.

Hi Tony

 :)Hi Liam
I have early model Commodore buckets fitted to my FC, they have removable headrests and fit very well. I used the standard Commodore floor mounts to retain the slide mech. etc.
I just made up two mounting brackets for each seat, this run length wise, under the existing commodore slides and have plates attached front and rear to allow the bolting to the orinigal outside bolt holes in the floor. The inner mounts near the tunnel are exact copies of outside units but you have to drill the floor and place rectangular plates under floor to spread the mounting load. This install was approved by an engineer.
Hope this helps, sorry for being long winded.

Hi
I used the touch up paint available at most auto shops ended up with "marello red" excuse the spelling but it is an early commodore colour. Seems to match the colours that come on rare spares badges
John.M

 :)Yes the HR diff will fit, required to change rear wheel cyclinders to match front discs to get pass rego, brake lines have to be changed as rear lines are smaller from memory

I have my FC insured with Shannons, very reasonable rates and a salvage clause which means you get the wreck and the cash if vechile is written off, makes it easier to start again
