I just remembered I had a photo of the ID plate too.

G'day,

Thanks for your replies. The horn is a Lucus brand for a bit of extra info. Were high note horns available on FX - FJ's and in which case is that what it is off?

Ken, it would have been a nice looking car eh, body number is 8 44009M for your records. I must get a few more to you from my own stash of wrecks

Thanks again.

Al

G'day all,

I recently removed a horn from an FB wagon that is not an original FB EK horn and is a high note horn off of something.
The mounting bracket is not quite right to be the mirror image of the standard FE FC horn for fitting to the right side (looking forward in the drivers seat) but it does tick some of the boxes from my research on this site:

- single screw holding dome cap on
- "H" cast into the outlet trumpet
- wires go into a slot in the housing

What do you think, yes or no.

Also of interest I recently found this wreck and stripped what was worth taking. I already have a wreck with most of the Detroit trim kit intact, hopefully what I got off of this one will make up the full kit for the eventual restoration of my other FE sedan.

Right oh, thanks for your replies. I am in the Grampians in Victoria but not really ready to join a club as not actively working on the car and won't be for a few years yet, just collecting parts and building up my knowledge at this stage. What would be the closest club or most appropriate for western Victoria? Thanks Al

G'day everyone,

I have just joined up and am trying to access info on accessories for FE's but can't seem to find the "Accessory of the week" section that comes up in searches; is it still on the forum somewhere?

I have not filled in my profile yet but will get around to it. I have an FE sedan in bits and will get around to a full standard restoration when I move somewhere with a bit more shed space. I currently have an EK Station Sedan that I have dragged out of the shed after a 20 year hiatus and is now on club reg. I am back to scouting around after parts and living and breathing old Holdens after setting things aside for a few decades. anyway, keen to find out a few more things about FE's, particularly accessories etc so would like to take a look at the accessory of the week section.

I have a few wrecks and might get around to putting the serial numbers into the database when I can. I found another FE wreck in a paddock this week with half the Detroit flash kit left on it (paddock bomb, knocked about a little...); that is two I have found with the Detroit flash kit on them and know of another one in a paddock interstate so there seems to be a few around. I have a full set of trim that I will put on my FE when I get around to putting it together. I would like to post a picture but can't seem to work it out. thanks Al
