Thanks Haydn for organizing your guy to do these taxi bars for members. Yep I think your right now about the S/S. I have been looking around at everything stainless and appears to be not much difference in appearance and of coarse the cost factor difference to Mild steel then (Chroming $) is huge I'm Sure.
Mmmmmmmmm what do the old experienced heads think.
Stainless Steel look over Chrome finish ?
I am still unsure best way to go the decision to install a taxi bar is huge I only want to do this if this will be a permanent fixture and as close as possible to an original look and installation.
I would very much appreciate other members opinion what they would do if considering a taxi bar.

Roachy.   

Wow great photo's Haydn ,Your a Legend
Yep put me down for the purchase of one definitely.
I would need it manufactured from suitable steel for later chroming as want to match other chromework and have original appearance.
goodluck thanks Roachy

Roachy here will be keeping a look out for a taxi-bar in any condition for possible re-chrome or even as a temptate that I would need before considering bending one up as per original.
cheers looking forward to cruising on a club run in the New Year.

Thankyou for replies interesting thought of reproducing, I would consider if was able to manufacture taxi bar exactly to original.
I think Mild Steel then sent to shop for chroming best option, believe stainless would not have the same look.
Taxi bar would be installed as a show piece only as we don't have rear seat passengers.
thankyou for your thoughts I would definitely consider reproducing Hayden if you were ok & happy to help if we could produce a quality product possibly we could knock up a run off for another club member at the same time if interested thanks again Roachy 0411292662
   

hi All wondering are taxi bars interchangeable between other models e.g. FB.EK or would require modification to suit our old girls. I guess there can't be to many tucked away these day's. Anyone decided not to fit their taxi bar and would consider sale. I would be interested.
great xmas party had a great day  Roachy.   

Hi All
Considering the thought of installing taxi rail curious if there are any around still
cheers  Roachy

Thanks Ken on the Maranello red that's great sorry but do you know the best way to go about getting some

hi all in process of restoring rear quarter scripts/emblem unsure about the correct RED paint colour detail any tips would be very appreciated

hi Spyro just wondering when you updating what has sold/not sold. cheers

Wow had a great day, met Graham & few of the fellows, hit them up for heaps of tech info, learned heaps looking forward to Engadine meet now,  bring it on looking forward to setting up for the day with our 59 FC. cheers Roach.   

thanks Ken guessing my exaust manifold valve is probably siezed so could it be permanently directing hot exaust to intake manifold,
 is there a better position for this valve if siezed .
could I possibly free up valve and put in preferred best position
closed directing hot exaust upward into the intake manifold or open. thanks again .
roachy.
great to here this valve does not have huge effect on operation.
 

Can anyone explain the function/purpose of this coil for me please thanks heaps again Roach do I need to worry about it

hi everyone noticed metal coil on back of exaust manifold in pretty bad shape read it is a heat riser thermostat coil is the correct function of this thermostat valve important   thanks heaps for feedback Roachy

THanks heaps Graham for the tip, also understanding & patience still learning cheers Roach

Hi everyone Newbie here (Roachy) wondering noticed some horn ring emblems with a gold colour surrounding Lion & also a blue colour surround of lion are these both original to the FC Thanks can someone please explain a little history knowledge on this thanks heaps
Wow have had so much enjoyment already from my FC Loving it

Newbie still learning the new post buisso eg starting new topic so adding to location location thanks everyone  being patient  blown away by photos had no idea so many old classics out there thanks mate
great site so happy cruising in my FC learning heaps great car to learn on, found I have a EJ grey motor prefix (j) Mmmmmmm brake lights flash + lower clear lense also flash strange, my car is early 59 FC-225-16185-S Empress Maroon over India Ivory thought lower clear lense optional reverse lights should not also flash . Looks a great original FC would like to install a engine temperature gauge any ideas way to go much appreciated as original temp light told posssibly unreliable working condition thought small classic looking temp gauge mounted descretly Electrical/mechanical unsure best. thanks heaps for any input look forward to exploring the site and reading posts.
P.S. my nickname is roachy 45 years old owned a couple of EH's in my earlier years although not to mechanically minded hope not to old to learn so happy i committed to buying my old dream car love cruising.
thanks everyone look forward to coming up to say gadday at some of the meets.
Wow poped in at eastern creek couple weeks ago for shannons car show was blown away.
Cheers Roachy not enough time on the day to take it all in already looking forward to next year.
