 Pleased to report that all the posters, signage & cabinetry has been purchased by a private collector.  I am very happy that my collection of over 35+ years remains intact & will be cared for into the future.  I have a couple of special items left that will be of interest to Club Members. Details to follow soon. As I mentioned in an earlier post.... we are really only Caretakers of the special items we collect, restore & enjoy. The final step in the Restoration/Collection journey, is to make the effort to find a new home with an owner who has the means & intent to preserve them into the future. While the Holden manufacturing has come to sad conclusion, the memorabilia will outlive us all, while ever there are people who value what remains.  Kevin.

Jay Jay ..search here on this forum concerning the chrome headlight surrounds , I think you will find there were two makers , if my memory is correct one type is Lucas and the other GMH ( Nasco )..They are slightly different internally , can interchange buts it not exact , in my case FC Special sedan we did both guards with the one test piece ( a unchromable one but good internally ) , but when fitting up the two good ones , one was excellent just like the test sample , the other not quite right , sitting proud by about 1.5 mm ..learned why on this forum and hunted around and got another ..Vern ..

The "stainless" flat bar are alloy ones from Bunnings - can't remember the price , only know they were a lot cheaper than stainless or chrome - I just rounded the ends and polished them.

The extra switches (FC knobs) next to the radio and heater tap and heater fan - the other two on the other side are fog lights and rear window demister.

All going to plan it should be back on the road this Friday.

Cheers

I have for sale a VH24 brake booster to suit FB/EK Holdens. From what I understand, these were also fitted to FX-FE and EJ/EH Holdens though with different bracketry/piping. This booster comes with brackets and piping to suit an FB/EK Holden. I ran this booster on my FB sedan for quite a while, but blew the diaphragm. I removed the unit from the car, and never got around to refitting it. It comes with a replacement diaphragm. The unit has the required brackets and brake piping to make this a near bolt-up job to an FB/EK. The unit has been refurbished before I bought it, and has the original NASCO plate and decal.

As of a few years ago Powerbrakes SA was refurbishing these, including supplying replacement diaphragms (a modern off-the-shelf diaphragm with an adaptor to suit the VH24).

I'm looking for $300. You are welcome to pick them up from Greystanes, western Sydney or I can package it up and send to you (free packaging, you pay the post).








The basis of my pricing:
They don't sell often, and were pulling about $150 twenty years ago.
Earlybitz has one for $450 in unknown condition, and then does the overhauls (as a changeover unit :shock: ) for $1500, but his pricing is nuts.
EJ/EH reproduction brackets are available for $86 (https://www.madfolk.com.au/ej-eh-vh24-b ... r-brackets).

Nice Wasim,
What are the extra switches for on you gauge panel?

Hi Wasim,

Like what you have done for the bed in the tray. I assume it is 25mm stainless over ply. If you don't mine me asking how many beer tokens did the stainless set you back? Cheers

All the same material.

G'day Everyone,

Headlight surrounds... are they all made of the same material?

I thought the "painted from factory" ones were steel... is this the case?

Thanks for your help!

No problem.

Cheers,
Harv
