Hi Team,

After a bit of advice. I have the original wheel cyclinders for the ute. I am working on trying to get the cups and piston out of th front ones at the moment. The will definitely need work and I have read several posts recommending having them sleeved in stainless. I am looking into this and it appear to be around $130 a corner plus postage plus a rubber kit.

I can purchase new wheel cylinders from Rares for $70 for the fronts and $90 for the rears.

So what is the benefit of the stainless sleeves in practical terms over new cylinders and why is it worth spending the extra $; ie, what is the cost benefit argument that has me spedning the extra coin up front?

Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom.

Hi Norman. I am pretty sure I have used original FE FC vacuum arms with an EK motor and crank.

Hello All,
I have a Delco electric windscreen motor i would like to install replacing the original vacuum system.
 to achieve this I require a set of EK control arms to connect to the motor and wiper control arms.

Does anybody have a set for sale, know where i can purchase a set, or know anyone who manufactures same.
Your assistance/suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you Norman

Hi Team,

I located a supplier of repro in line metal fuse holders for 1040's Chevs on the US. They sell for USD14.50 ea plus postage. I have made enquiries as to the postage.

My intent is to replace all of the fuses in my ute and keep the old ones as spares. I have asked for bulk rate pricing so we will see what comesback.

Is anyone else interested in these to share the postage costs? https://www.chevsofthe40s.com/detail/11831/Chevrolet_Chevrolet_Metal_Fuse_Holder_For_Wiring.html?srsltid=AfmBOorJxTp_FV0NwMVXEnoP9IOUFk3IaFxxguH9IxmE5wHAZRjJRIV0

This is a shameless plug for a good friend of mine. Every time I go to assemble a Grey Motor I have difficulty finding a good set of head bolts. They are usually corroded, stripped or otherwise unusable. Procuring a good set of "correct" bolts is getting harder these days.

I helped him develop a set of good quality Chrome Moly head bolts for Grey Motors. He sells them on eBay as complete sets.

Any comments are welcome.

G'day Jolls,

I have a printer and plenty of experience printing. I'd be happy to print any designs for you.

I think the design creation will be a challenge

So sorry, forgot to add to my previous reply - thanks so much for the offer. I need to see how talented I am with the design software before we even get close to that step. hahaha
