7426556 EJ HR suit plastic reservoir. It fits the larger thread, however I have had the plastic ones in both thread sizes, after market.

If you need any of these bits you are welcome. I’ve got a tin top master too but the tin is pretty rusty. Also several plastic reservoirs, all of the larger thread size.
These appear to be after market items ABS (Adelaide Brake Service).

Good luck making sense of all this. It’s got my old noggin spinning.😵‍💫

I have a 7409631 same as the top one in your photo also, which has the smaller thread.

Delving a bit further, I found a body 7423384 which appears as body FE to EK. It has the smaller thread.Slightly larger thread shown on top for comparison. There doesn’t appear to be much in it.

All I can glean is that for the cylinder assembly, FE to EK have the same part number, then EJ to HR have same part number, all tin reservoir. Plastic reservoir suitable body is also listed for EJ to HR.

Unfortunately the casting number your photo shows is not listed, only the complete assembly. However the EJ to HR drum brake body is listed 7226556. Here is one from my collection:

Well they both look period correct to me. The EH had skinny tins, then they went to plastic by HR. The different body to reservoir thread sizes appear on Holden branded oem masters and I’ve had  after market plastic reservoirs to suit both threads. I’ll see if my Master Parts Catalogue sheds any light, but I do recall discussing this previously. RDS will no doubt shed some light.

There is a factory spring Brad, on the drivers side from memory. I’m running a c@blend clutch so from memory.

The other thing I have seen done is welding a section of RHS between the facing ends of the original mounts.

Some builders get clever and replace the front quarters with one piece fast glass, but you do this! Outstanding work as always Malcolm. Also, I thought I had seen the door tubes available as a kit, but you go and make your own. I wish I had half your skill.

I did have some shock mounts but not sure if I still do. I got them out of the FB215 I cut up.

Thanks mate. I get by happily with a phone and iPad. I may have to invest in a ‘puter one day.

Very impressed with your technical ability in getting a video happening Craig. Never mind getting the engine running. Sounds solid anyway mate. 👍

I’m with you Craig. They have to be straight six, bench seat. I’m running a red six, all synchro, with Roger Hancock column shift conversion in my FB ute.

Ute tail lights were originally p a inted, rather than chromed. If you go that route, they can be lightly filled.
