So, I'm guessing you now don't want my floor pan?

i thought i sent you a PM about that, sorry chap, then I've sent a PM to someone then about it, again sorry chap...

Sorry ed but what the hell does spondolicon thingos mean did you just make that up.

after reding this thread, I'll asume that Ken sells a bolt on kit ready to go? or moderfies the back of the wiper motor to acept the FC wiper arms, please explain.

did you notice in one of streetneats pic, how he scalloped out the rhs section on the curvy part of the floor, to bring it level and there fore bracing the seat bolt sections at the same time, he's a very clever chap, And lets face it not many guys would let everyone know how they does things, great stuff.

 "Leon said" the circled area half way down at the rear floor, could probably do with the addition of some angle welded to the rail and then bolted through the floor using a plate (if it hasn't already).

this means your twisting forces would be spread across the face of the plate rather than just your rails twisitng against the floor and welds which would lead to failure around the welds in the floor itself.

where the rails meet the front floor x-member.  Make a C-channel that slips over the x member and rail join.  seam or stitch weld it in for ultimate strength.
once again if that is just  butt join it will just tear away under load over time.

your rails are resisiting the torsional twist of the body under load

Good points leon, but (please correct me if I'm wrong because I DONT really know) But if the car was running a six cyl, wouldnt the stresses be mininal regardless and there fore the need to use angle to bolt it to the floor for added strength, would be a bit of over kill?  And I just cant imagine the floor/chassis ripping it self apart due to stresses, put on it by a torgue of a 6cyl, Now I'm NO expert on chassis's and these are just my thoughts on it, I've made a lot of trailers over the years without a single one bending, only because I use 3mm box thickness   So keep the info comming guys, this a great help, because I'll be doing this soon enough.

I hope I'm not hijacking the thread here but, in the picture here I've circled the box tubing that has been welded to the floor I would imagine that is for added chassis strength, is there any set rules or guidlines that I will have to follow if I do this and judging by the size it looks to be about 40X40mm box, any guidelines here would be a great help

yeah I spotted that one, I see he's dropped the price by $200. But I'd prefer the other type if I have to pay...

Hi chaps, I'm after a car rottiserie see link, for the kind I need.   http://www.fbekholden.com/gallery/album06/Rawls_redguard1small  so if your got in Vic, for lend/hire or even plans for one, let me know, I've nearly got all the bits and pieces to get the shell back to how the good general intended it to be and will have a few extra's   And has anyone here fitted a bigger tranny hump before and does that effect the crossmember supports in any way. Thanks chaps!!!

I actually did the oppisite a fews years back, I fitted a red head on a black bottom motor, because I wanted to retain the red head headers and carbie set up, simple as.

I thought if you are going to put a re motor in the fc with a hr xcross member, the engine mounts dont need moving ?? I'll be having this conversion soon enough, please can I be told either way and if I nned to move them, how far back or forward.

yeah fella I'll take the lot, sorry for the delay have been away with work, call me 0413539440 any time before 12am and we'll work out the details.

ta fella...

Hi folks, I'm after a bare cross member for the FE-FC, I need it for the toungue only so if your got one, I'm in Geelong Vic so I'll do a pick in Melb.

If you struggle to get the under-seat section in your area, I might be able to help. One of the wrecks I have has a good section, well, it holds water anyway.
Give us a yell if you want it.

BTW. I moved the post, you might get more people looking here.

Yes thanks fella, I'm after one, work out a $$ for me and get back to me, that would be a great start. And sorry for putting it in the wrong spot...

Where are you located yogie ?

I'm in Lara Vic, Harko.

Howdy guys, well I'm now the proud owner of a FC wagon, and while I was expecting it to rust riddeled, I'm pleastantly suprised to say the least.

So I'm after some sills, but the rarespares ones dont have the ends, Does anyone know of a place that does the ends or the whole sill panel.

The second peice I'm after is the rolled panel that supports the fuel tank, now bear with me here guys, the section that is rusted out is the slopping bit that levels out to the tank hole... , I know what I mean lol

the third peice is the section that is right under the rear seat, see pics.

And apart from the standard floor pans that need doing I'm very pleased with the car I got.
