Jezz

anyone looked at sqeezing an Alloyetc into their FC's engine bay?
Jezz

has anyone got an un-cut top radiator support panel.
both of mine have been trimmed in their past life and are now looking pretty ordinary.
Jezz (WA)

thanks for the posts surferboy,
looks like a great turn out

Jezz

Thanks Al.
would certainly explain why I'm not getting good thread engagement.
hoping that the complete thread isn't knackered, don't fancy tapping the holes in place.
but the 2 bolts I took out were most definately M10 but of diferent grades
the more I look the more problems I find...
Jezz

anyone know of what size & grade bolts should be holding the bellhousing to a chev 327 block?

just pulled mine out of the block and they're high tensile M10.

I would have though that the early chev blocks would be imperial.

Jezz

heart breaking isn't it...

um...   it's still connected to the carby, it's a Weber DGA 32/36 from memory, pulled it out of the shed yesterday.
it has got surface rust from the poor factory chroming, I'll bring it on Sunday for you to have a squiz

It's even got a dust coated filter and 2 of the clips to hold it together.

Jezz

mike,
I'll check the shed I used to have one on my dato.
still with weber attached
will let you know...
Jezz

I can also attest to having the aerial in the panel below the front window on 1 FE and 1 FC wagon both on passenger side
the other FC has the aerial filling the hole where the windscreen visor once stood on the roof (not original i thinks).

Kiwi, that's the DIY type I was trying to avoid. I'm trying to replicate the professions look of the copper strips bonded to the window glass like the modern sedans etc...

brings back memories though, set alight to my first holden with one of those kits when I shorted one of the wires to the body, lucky for me I'd already taken out the flooring and it was just the residual hessian that went up.

I found that the aluminium strips are too fragile and since I'm putting captian destructo our dog in the back it wouldn't last long.
Jezz

has anyone had any luck putting a demister on their rear window. (bar type)
the only option I've come across in the west are equivalent to sticking strips of aluminium foil to the rear window and they look  

I'm looking for an aplication similar to what's on the modern car windows of today.

Just startingto do the research now and most of the companies I'm going to try are over yonder in the east.

any help would be appreciated.
