Does anyone have any information where we can locate some quality spats for an FE ute?

I don't have an electric wiper motor as we are in the
start of the build up here in Darwin, so we wont see any
rain for at least 3 months, enough time to fix the original
fuel pump. Will definately check those braided lines
when servicing pump.I've just been told by the better
half we won't be needing wipers cause the Old Girl wont
be driving in the rain!
Will post a photo as soon as i work out how. Thanks
again.  Jose.

thanks to everyone for thier help.after removing the fuel
tank,i found to my amazement several large pieces of
solder in the tank, some as big as twenty cent pieces
and of course hundreds of tiny bits.After several hours
of surgical type removal using improvised tools,including
double sided sticky tape on a stick,all was removed!
After installing the tank,some fresh fuel,and renewed confidence,off for a test drive.STALL!! $%#*!
   After several beers,prozac and a good nights sleep
i get the ol girl going and make it in to town to another
mechanic.The car stalls right on queu,with the grease monkey under the bonnet.He removes air filter,manually
primes the carby and notices only a small puff of fuel of
fuel rising then nothing.A quick test bypassing the fuel
pump.... no stall. solved.The pump is drawing the fuel
somewhat but cant keep the pressure up to the float
chamber.I guess it pays to get several opinions.Ordered
fuel pump kit,and decided to put an electronic fuel pump
in.SCRUFF as he"s known is now our new mechanic.
   thanks a million again to all for your responses.
               Jose and Liz in Darwin.  
 

Thanks to all for their responses.Ive just put the volt
metre on the new battery and confirmed the power is
being completely drained,so a new problem found. A
club mate thinks i better get a auto lecky to check the
generator and regulator before moving to the stall problem.He thinks the problem could be heat related,so
he seems to think i should check or replace the coil and
the capacitor.I am going to replace them,for peace of
mind and i think i'll drain the tank,clean it,blow the lines
out.Thanks for the tip Kevin.Also timing was corrected.
I only use premium unleaded with valvemaster additive.Hopefully i'll have it fixed for our biggest show
of the year,V8 super cars at Hidden Valley.
THANKS from Jose & Liz....  

I recently purchased a beautiful FE UTE from Victoria and
since its arrival here in Darwin we have had a problem
with the car stalling every time we try to take it for a run.The car runs fine for about 30 minutes or so,then
it will stall,usually in the worst place.I got the 'Local'
mechanic to go over it.He replaced my battery,blew out
the fuel line,made an ajustment to fanbelt tension,
checked carby float level and suggested i have fuel line
insulated as it may be fuel vapourising. No joy,still
stalling.Check fuel pump,o.k,check water pump,o.k.
new thermostat check.Still stalling. Just had the carby
recond,was tired, still stalling,,please any help appreciated.P.S. reco motor has done only 2500 ks.
