What alternator would be best on the grey like the one in that pic from that site??

Hi all,

I am after any wiring gurus who also know there way around relays etc.

This is what I am trying to do.

I have a Castlemaine Auto Electrics 2 speed wiper motor in my FJ ute and FJ van. I am wanting to run the VT wiper stalk with the wipers.

I can get everything to work except for it to self park.

Now this is where I need some help. How the self park mechanism works as far as I know is that when the wiper stalk is turned to the off position what happens is the park wire on the stalk goes live which then allows the park mechanism to activate at park the wires. I dont think the wiper stalk as a wire for park, so I would most likely need a wire from a relay to go live when the stalk has been switched off.

I don know how to get the park wire to go live when the stalk is moved to the off position.

Now for some diagrams

This is the wiper motor pinout



This is the wiring diagram for the VT stalk. There is only 3 wires that I do not have connected - one is a wire for a wagon and the other is a green wire (which I am led to believe goes to an intermittent wiper relay? and a white and blue wire.



Any thought how I can make a wire on this switch go live when it is turned off (even if the wire is coming from a relay??

Thanks
Jason

I sold this. Can this post please be deleted mate.

Thanks
Jason.

Of course I can take it to a post office. I have to check my mail at the post office anyway. Flick me a pm and we will discuss there.

I am having a clean out of all my old car parts that I no longer need. These have just been sitting in a box.

For Sale is a Preslite wiper motor for FE - EK.

This was originally bought from Ken Mclean a number of years ago and has been sitting in the box ever since.

The postage mark on the box is dated 30 03 2010.

I thought the fair thing is to offer it on this site first before I offer it for sale anywhere else.

The pictures indicate the condition of the parts.

I am after $180 for it.












Will only post if buyer arranges postage.

Pickup in Melbourne (Essendon area)

I have 4 FJ Holdens and own fxfjholden.com as most people I know. I wont want to part with the 6 volt stuff as my stock windowless van is 6 volt.

The stock sedan I want to convert to 12 volt, I just want it for the ease. Over the years the car not starting when warm, has always been the biggest pain in the backside.

Cheers
Jason

Still in Melbourne mate (Nth essendon)

Hi all,
I am finally after nearly 30 years owning my stock FJ sedan am going to bite the bullet and convert it to 12 volt.

I am after some grey motor electrics such as a 12 volt coil, 12 volt starter, 12 volt generator (wide pulley if possible) 12 volt distributor and a 12 volt regulator.

Bosch preferably.

If anyone has any parts for sale can you please let me know.

Thanks
Jason

Hi all,

I have 4 x (ROH) HQ steel rims for sale. These wheels are brand new. I bought them a few years ago for one of my projects, but I don't need them as I now have a different wheel setup on my FJ van.

I also have 3 other HQ rims which are in good condition but aren't new.

If anyone is after some HQ rims, send me an email to jason @ fxfjholden.com with an offer.

The rims are in Sydney / Wollongong area. When I had some HT wheels modified for my EK, I had them couriered to Wagga (from Central Qld and Geelong) and from memory they didn't cost much to have couriered. So if you are not from Sydney/Wollongong or Canberra have a look at e-go.com.au couriers for a rough price.

Make and offer, I want them gone, I will try and add some pics in a few days when I take the tyres off.

Cheers

Jason

Being from Canberra, have to laugh, I'm a country Victorian boy born and bred, and currently in Sydney, better change my location.

The guy asked the question and I answered it for him. By the way internet etiquette says posts should not be in capitals.

I was not going to correct you but I have to (being a country Victorian Boy and meeting Humphrey some 30 years ago or was it 35 cant recall) it is actually Humphrey B. Bear. As for Humphrey being real, of course he is, isn't he?

Back on the term FX, I know of a few myths how the name came about, especially the one when around when the FB was released that some called the 48/215 "FX" because it was the only Holden without a F prefix and they didn't know what other prefix to give it so they gave it a X for unknown model.

I'm sure on this forum the naming designation has been discussed before how Holden came up with FJ, FE, FC FB etc, as it was a chart to do with year of release etc, (which Holden did not release the car in that year) from memory and memory only I think the chart has the FJ as about 1952, but the FJ wasn't released until October 53 and finished (with the vans and utes early 57 (but classed as 56 models)).

Anyway on a side note, what a funny old fellow was Humphrey anyway.
