FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

I have had to make new clips for the stainless trim under the taillights.
If anyone is stuck i have them on file on the waterjet.
Also i will have the clips for the seat trim.

Gday Pete,

I will take 2 sets - mine on both sides of the wagon are stuffed.  Let me know how much and also your bank details for payment.

Cheers,
Graeme

G'day Pete,

Photos of the trim clips - they fit really well, nice and tight.  Forget what i said in the pm - this thickness metal is perfect, anything thinner will bend/twist too easily.

Thanks again Pete,
Graeme

Thanks for the feedback.

Pete

maybe a market to sell them to rare's

I'd rather give them to olden1 to sell after all the dramas their having.

10 bucks delivered for 6 clips or 14 delivered if I fold them.
Very easy to fold in the vice 

And worth every bit of that Pete :-)

Who / What is olden1 - someone we should be supporting????

Graeme

Geoff and Cathy field the people that were doing the grille badges ect really nice people they restore steering wheels ect as well.

Holden put pressure on them to stop manufacturing as it breached copyright or some crap.

More likelly rares want to manufacture and sell themselves...

Hi Graeme,
Read the second page of this thread for some background
http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,19790.msg129126.html#msg129126 ($2)

Pete,    you are doing a great service to all of us on the forum. I dont have the colour separation trim on the FE wagon,but the FC wagon that i wrecked had them, and I was very careful trying to remove them but none of the clips survived so thank you for your continuing support of our great passion.

Cheers Stewy   8)

Thanks Pete and Stewy,

Duly noted and their web page added to my fav's.  Olden1 will certainly have my support.

Graeme

If anyone has intrest ill be cutting some trim clips to hold the stainless trims onto the plastic seat surrounds ..


See how i go tuesday with them ill post some pics.

pete

+1 send me some prices
are you still doing the radio insert for the glove box

I can i did that one as a one off for NES.

i would have to check the fitment of his first to make sure it looks right.
as i only made it to a drawing.
However if you make a template or drawing of what you want ill whip one up.



Pete

Hey Pete
Thanks heaps for the number plate holder. Looks a treat!
I'll post some pictures today
I'll take a set of the clips and also the seat mounting plates.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF DOING A PARCEL TRAY :)
That would be cool

If you do make up a parcel tray, I will definitely take one Pete.

Max must be kinky  ;D.

Yeah...
Under dash parcel tray... That would be cool!
Nick

what die do you currently have the pulmax, some people might intersted

I was using it for beading a lot
But now i use the speedwerx bead roller with variable speed as doing radiuses is a bitch with the pullmax.
I cut all my own design dies on the waterjet .
I have the die at work i was trialling to do the W style section for FC floor pans.
I have a louvre punch for it and dishing dies as well.
really need more time to play in the shed with it i used it a lot at tafe doing my apprenticeship.
You can get extremelly sharp sections with a pullmax but check out the ones below how sharp they are .

thats the nice thing about the water jet you can calculate for the material thickness,
i also havent use since my app, we had to make our dies by hand,
because of cost i just use a rack and pinion press for the small jobs and pay mega $$$ for the bigger stuff

I bought 10 dvds on manufacturing different dies I watched ten minutes of 1 oh so boring his voice pitch did not change once.
I'll try watch again with iPod blaring .
Some good ideas.

Pete What size louvers can it do I only need two for the top of the International dash to direct the demister towards the windscreen  I cut some from a metal locker but were to short  :'( :'( I need them to be 150mmm long in a overall section of 180mm x 30mm  can you help me out Thanks Mark

As long as you want the lower die swivels left to right to end your louvre.


I'll do 1 and take a pic .

I have cut seat trim clips this morning .
I will trial them tonight cut very nice and are not brittle like the factory ones.
I will have to do a catalogue up.

Careful.. the requests may be great in number OR Holden may shut you down!!

Ha ha if your chasing grille badge inserts I bought a heap from a supplier before they were shut down.

Weird  day something like 4 number plate brackets and about 8 sets of trim clips.

Have posted all items that were requested yesterday.

More to post tommorow.

Pete

thanks the the nice work and workman ship
i was after 2 set but 1 will do, i always seem to break the last 1, or some wants something and im like this will do the job nicely, then when i go to install, theres a few minutes of head scratching, and a where is it i no i had a full set,

but ill get them on the next run

There's an extra just in case.

thanks all arrive and look a1 even fitted through the mail hole
nice work and thanks

Sorry mate i didnt understand your msg you sent back im the PM so i only sent 1 set.
If you lose or need any more ill shoot them thru next day we cut a heap today.

1 Thing i found some are tight on some of the trims so they may need a small file or sand where they slip into the stainless and some are loose.

The new ones are a little thinner as well from the first batch.

For those who ordered flat ones find a vice with a crisp edge do the clip up in there with the bottom of the radius of the clip flush with the top of the vice simply push over and get a piece of flat bar or something like that and give a gentle tap down so it has a sharp 90 degree fold.
Ill Post a pic if anyone wants.
all this batch are folded $14 still saves a lot of stuffing around works out $3 for folding $1 for the padded bag.
Not really making much off em just trying to help people out as theres some dodgy solutions out there.

Pete

I found  a few NOS GMH ones when I was cleaning up if you would like to measure up an original I can post one up to you ......FC427......

Thanks for the offer, It should be right as i had a couple of mint ones i measured off.

Pete
