Recently purchased my beautiful 1958 FC, who was already wearing these plates, but have my own ideas about what she should wear. The plates have red lettering on a white background, they are acrylic, slim-lines, but can be altered to suit your own vehicle's specifications.

If you are interested, email me at fredaturtle@live.com.au

Hi Zulu

Yeah could be a cooling fan.....

The hole pattern from your pic is different to what's on my dash (mine are diagonal all in a row - not triangle formation as in your diagram)

I never thought of a fan ... I thought it might be a badge (??)

Anyway, any other ideas or posts would be appreciated!!

cheers

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone knows what used to belong on my FC's dash.  There are 3 diagonally drilled holes just above the glove box and to the left side of the speaker grill.  Central hole is slightly larger then the other two.  Looks like it's for a  badge / signage but I'm not sure.

Any ideas or if your FC has something there, can you please let me know (post a pic if you can!!)

cheers

I bought a '58 FC wagon a few months ago (when it was blue skies and warm sun ... great driving weather).  Anyway, now it's raining like all hell and my FC leaks like a sieve.  There's heaps of water coming in the back and all, around the door seals.  I don't think the windscreen or rear window is leaking.  The rubbers appear new (they aren't hard or crumbling) but aren't doing the job.

Is there a way to tell if they have been seated correctly (and don't say 'look for leaks').  Can anyone give me some hints/tricks/tips on replacing the weather seals and also a good place to get the right rubbers?  I'm in WA but don't mind buying interstate.

Thanks for your help.

thanks

Hi again

Do you have a heater unit for a '58 FC?

Thanks,

Mutley

ps- any idea of cost and postage to perth?

Hi RET

Thanks for your help.  I've seen heaters on ebay every now and then so I suppose I'll have a bid next time.

cheers!

Hi all

OK - dumb question alert....

I recently bought a '58 FC stn wagon.  There's a small lever underneath the glove box that opens a flap on the outside of the car right in front of the wiper blades.  When it's open, air blows in from underneath the dash and it seems to have 3 positions (low air to high air).

My question is how do you get the INSIDE air vents in front of the windscreen (?? de-misters) to work?  Should this lever do it or might it be broken?  Also, is there a heater you can add to the FC?

thanks everyone

Hello

Do you have a set of 3 dash board knobs - the ones for choke, lights and wiper?  If you do, are they in good condition and can you please send a pic'n'price to mail them to perth?
