Thanks Ken,
These FE's are mighty addictive-maybe one day!

Thanks again Rob.
The deal is done, the car has been sold to me
R.

thanks for the tip Rob, will try to get some more info.

I'm in Melbourne.
The less restoration the better (I have a sedan that needs most of my attention in that regard)
What are they asking for the car? Any pics?
Thanks,
R.

Thanks to Nicko, I have found a heater.

For restoration.

Hi nicko,
Have sent you a p.m.
R.

Need any/all of the following:
-remote oil filter (Grey motor)
-hubcap removal tool (suit car with dress rims)
-jack & handle (sedan)
-heater (Warmaride)
-parcel shelf
-external mirror(s)

Can you let me know the trim and paint numbers of your car- looks exactly like mine (unfortunately my car's trim plate is not stamped with anything apart from a part no. for an FE Business Sedan body- a major repair having occured sometime in the past seems to be the consensus of oppinion).
Thanks,
R.

Anyone have a Frame Front Tie Member and a LH Front Subframe assembly for sale?

My latest FE project sedan has effectively lost about 2 inches of the left hand end of the Frame Front Tie Member and the front part of the LH Side Frame assembly just rearward from where the two join at right angles.
Also about 2 inches of the left hand end of the front floor crossmember is missing.

Query 1: Can these be repaired suitable for passing roadworthy test?
Query 2: If the answer to Q1 is no, does anyone have good rust free examples for sale? (I think Rare Spares do rust repair sections for the floor crossmember, or did).
Thanks,
R.

Thanks to Ken I have the elbow fitting I needed.
I still have a problem with the metal tube end of the braided hose and how I fit it into the threaded crankcase aperture. (see picture-hopefully)

Does anyone know of reasonably priced front shock absorbers to suit FE ute? Rare Spares want $150 each for the ones they stock!
Also, what is a good replacement (off the shelf) muffler for my very perforated current unit?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Ken.
Does this mean that there are 2 flexible hoses used in the hook up? (I wondered why there was a 2nd one in the kit). I have a double flared bundy steel tube inlet line which is shown in the instructions sheet as coming off the tee fitting where the oil presure switch goes in and attaching to the oil fiter inlet opening? The flexible (braided) hose is shown going from the bottom (outlet) of the filter and into the block. As to how the metal tube end of this hose is physically held in place, I'm still in the dark. What stops it sliding off under oil pressure?
I will need to buy that elbow from you. Just let me know the total cost (incl. postage).
Thanks
R.

I have a remote oil filter for our grey motor, which is missing a vital fitting. Namely the 'R59-1/4 Elbow' which attaches the oil inlet pipe to the top of the filter body. Does anyone know if these are still available?
Also I have the original instruction sheet for fitting the filter, but can't work out how the Flexible hose ('L11D4') which has a cylindrical metal rod at one end, is attached. Does the metal rod end go into the motor or the filter? and how is this end secured? the No. 32 Dole nut & No. 12 connector fitting don't seem to hold it at all.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
R.

I guess the 'Subject' says it all.

What is the best way to remove hub caps from a special sedan (with dress rims fitted) without bending the trims to the ****house?
Thanks.

Thanks for that.
Does it still have it's Vehicle i.d. plate fitted?
Is it a Special?
Does it have any doors or guards?
Tah,
R.

How much floor is left intact?
Where is it?
