FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

I went around to my man who is making me some taxi rails . We have a unexpected problem . My bad, I had 2 taxi rails hanging from the rafters for many years and mistakenly thought I'd fitted both at one time or another . Turns out the one taxi rail that has a bent bracket is the one that I didn't give away and that's the one my mate is understandably having trouble making a jig for . So if I have time this afternoon i'll take my van around and trial fit and maybe tack it in place . Like someone said on this forum being close to the same taxi rail as ek-fb , someone may have tried to fit it to fb-ek and as they sit up at an angle, may have tried to bend it . Haydn

Thanks for the update. Bad luck about the bent bracket, but a good thing to find now before any are made.

Exactly . I feel much better getting them trial fitted in the vehicle. Haydn

Slow coming but going to do another trial fit on the taxi rail prototype tomorrow

Obviously the one at the back is the copy . The welding will be completed after trial fit tomorrow , then final fit of plugs countersink screw holes and polish . Sorry its taken so long but I have some medical conditions that get in the way of what I like to do [three herniated discs and a floating disc spur] and leaves me paralysed for extended periods .

Thanks for the update Haydn. No problem about the timing. Health first - he needs to avoid aggravating the condition for things to improve. It's frustrating being restricted.
