Technical Board / Restoration Help / Re: Boot Separater Board and Firewall Board
|

You can get trim board from Daleys who are in most states, this is the closest material to original that I have found and use it for door trims, glovebox liners and boot boards. I contacted Classic Gloveboxes a couple of years ago expressing interest in their firewall board patterns as I heard they were winding up, they told me they still going and that is the last I heard.

I wasn't sure if wind lace was used in the cargo area and now I know, each door opening takes about 1.7 metres so I generally sell 8 metre lots to do a Sedan (and now Station Sedans).

on: February 13, 2020, 12:58:39 PM
|
My FC Panel Van is in the body shop to get the after market side windows filled. Can anyone please provide: 1. The measurement between the louvres in the side panels (Front set was cut out). 2. Measurements for the internal bracing of the side panels, it is missing one maybe two of the front braces.
Thanks in advance!

Technical Board / Modification Help / Brake Booster Issue?
|
on: December 23, 2019, 01:35:45 PM

After any tips before I start pulling stuff apart.
Back Story - My FE Sedan has LH/X Torana front discs and HR rear drums, LC Torana booster, master cylinder and brake block switch.
Sometime after it's last hibernation the Brake warning light came on and has stayed on since, brakes seemed hard to apply but were safe enough for driving. Up on stands the other week we found the rear brakes didn't work at all, seized rear cylinders that we replaced. Bled the whole system, brakes are still hard, when first built you could lock up the brakes if you got on them hard enough, not now. Pulled the vacuum line on the booster, plenty of vacuum. Pulled the PCV off the booster, we could hear it sucking air in once the PCV was removed so it is air tight. I suspect the booster is shot, could it be anything else?

Sounds like you got it from Daleys, I get the same spiel when I buy wind-lace there. About the only guaranteed way to get the windlace custom made out of some colour-fast material.
Have you had a look at products like Scotchguard?

Technical Board / Restoration Help / Clean Vinyl?
|
on: April 06, 2019, 07:59:37 PM

Ever wonder if that vinyl was worth saving or not? Variable speed drill Drill, $1:50 round hand scrubbing brush, nut, bolt and a bottle of Jif.  Link to brush https://www.bunnings.com.au/morgan-palm-dish-brush-with-soap-dispenser_p4480485The best part about this is that the brush has a pump action, disconnect the top, pull out the valve and I found a bolt that went straight in with no drilling, put a washer and nut on then tap the clear plastic a few times to break it off. Just use low speed and go slow otherwise there will be grey Jif everywhere. I suggest hosing off if you can as a sponge and bucket of water take forever.

Technical Board / Modification Help / Speco Wooden Shifter Knob
|
on: March 28, 2019, 07:50:51 PM
|
So I've got this original wooden Speco shifter knob. It's in good condition, but it could be better. Are these able to be easily pulled apart to facilitate a resto, or do I play it safe and leave it in tact whilst reconditioning?
