FC Ute

[FCRB26]

Big day I now have a awesome working handbrake with all the cables hidden no big y section.
I cut a section out and installed a flat section I also swaged it so it follows the factory section on top of the sill.
I cut a alloy boot cover routered a radiused edge ready to chrome.
Also made 2 rings to reccess 350w alpine woofers into the door so their hidden no modern looking covers.

I also like to see what you are doing .The metalwork is awesome . Just thought you might be interested in this handbrake set-up as reference material. This is my Vauxhall [Bedford] chassis .The rear axle is lc lj torana ,therefore the cables are different lengths and the rest is standard Vauxhall [Bedford] under dash handbrake but could have been easily used to relocate a centre pull or beside the bench as you have done .Say for example you were running a set of chassis rails and a different gearbox crossmember and were struggling with adapting a hand brake cable for a commodore rearend to std. front cable. You could use VW beetle rear cables with this lever and a FE,FC front cable .Just thought you might be interested as you seem to be someone who can think on there feet.

Thanks for the pic.

Its not that i was struggling its more i wanted to hide any ugly cables from around the chassis rails my sedan is the same im using lokar cables for it too so i can hide them in the chassis rails and i am using a toyota hiace handbrake top section to hide it.

im really impressed with the lokar set up it fits beutiful and is hidden would definetly go that way again.

Nice find
Appears to be a bullet hole.
Its affecting fitting the seat belt plates.




Seat belt mounts done.
Hopefully engine blocks back next week.
all balancing is being done next week.
JE forged pistons arrived.
Yella terra platnium twin bolt down roller rockers arrived.
Sorta got carried away come racing alloy heads arrived.
Cam lifter pushrods
Oil pump
So it should make some good numbers.



The above one a shady conversion shop hacked the black one together ruff as ruff.


Bought 2 of these phanton aeromotive fuel system s they are awesome simple hole saw hole and fit the whole unit has fuel proof foam swirl pot set up .
Got a mates torana in my shed I had to rebate it in as its a xu1 deep tank.
