Do you still need a spring?

Send me an email and we can organise it.

I can help with the spring, for cost of postage only?

You can get these from Rare Spares in small packs of about 6?
They will do the spears.
They are plated but do rust too soon, but a quick spray of gal paint will make them last a lot longer.

Thanks Scott, I'll take you up on that, it'll need posting wherever.
Please email me with cost and details for deposit and I'll sort that out.
It's not ultra urgent.
Cheers, George.

Hi all, in need of a brake light socket/holder if anyone has one available?
sgomachen at hotmail dot com
cheers.

Just yesterday I also spent about two hours getting nowhere fast.
Took a break and over a cup of tea came up with a similar idea, just used the flat stick and masking tape to attach the clip.
Great minds think alike
Also had the wife assisting which never goes well!

That's good news, I've sent you a pm

Well jox515, please let me know if you have one available?
Cheers George

Thanks to both replies.
Jim, let me know how you go?
George

This lock is missing a clip that holds the levers to the barrel.
Please let me know if you have one or even a complete lock (RH side)?
cheers, George.

some of the early pics:

Well I came to my senses and didn't sell.
Being tidied up with fresh coat of paint, chrome and stainless refreshed, and back on the road as an every day driver.

I've gone down the v6 route for an everyday driver.
Sure it's the same amount of work and engineering requirements as for an 8, so just decide which you want.
Might be less firewall mods with the 6 ??
As an everyday car the best improvement is going to fuel injection, instant starts and idle.
Also for an everyday car the most important part of the conversion to get right is steering. You want the turning circle, feel, ride etc to be very good.
The front end packages available now may solve that for you?
You'll also appreciate the better brakes compared to stock.
Cheers.

I know I'm going to sound like a smart arse
but what part of this ute is "straight" ?

The wiring is about as complicated as a normal fan heater
I can send some info I have that may help;
contact me on sgomachen(at)hotmail(dot)com
cheers, George.

pic as requested:

Funny you describe the compressor as an "alternator type", as that is pretty much how it is mounted.
Bottom mounts are part of engine mount bracket.
Top mount is as shown in previous pic.
The belt used is standard A/C commodore belt. Just make sure the pulley on the compressor matches the commodore belt in width etc.
Haven't much info on the compressor as it was bought new and for the smallest size I could get!
Hose connections had to be right-angle mount and modified to clear subframe etc.
You can see this in previous pic.

You don't have to use the commodore compressor, there are smaller ones that will clear.

I'm in need of one of these, in reasonable condition. Passenger side only.
Victoria would be good?
