It looks like if I don't post, nothing gets posted (Clay excepted) . . .

So I had an hour or so free this afternoon, marked up the floor behind the rear sat squab, cut a long transverse slot, and pushed the metal forwards (duck-bill vice grips work very well for this).  It still cleared the frame of the rear seat squab.  I call that a bonus.

I'm off to Parkes for a week.
I get back from Parkes, spend a day at home, then get on a plane to Texas to chase an eclipse.
I come back from Texas, and nine days later, I get on a plane, again, to fly to the US, again, this time for work.
Don't ask the obvious question.  I tried, and was was shut down even before the thought could be articulated.

The black "S" glovebox badge is FC Special sedan & Wagon only



FE Special Sedan script is Special Sedan is chrome
FE Special Wagon script is Station Sedan also chrome



All FE & FC Commercial & Standards had the plain no script badge

I agree Dr Terry, I have one in really good condition and the background behind the S is black.

My memory says that the "S" section in Special had black paint fill.

Right oh thanks Kevin, you have saved me a job. Al

 No. just plain Chrome plated. Kevin.

G'day,

Quick question as I can't find the answer in searches. Is an FE glove box badge background painted red from factory?

It's amazing the little mistakes you find when you look really close.

Now I've been using these wiring schematics since the late 60s & yet I just found another mistake in the FB drawings. On the FB 215, 219, 225, 229 diagram they list 2 versions of the dome light wiring, one for FB/217 & one for all others.

Given that the 217 model was discontinued mid FC, the FB/217 never existed as a production model. Looks like they forgot to tell the electrical drawing room this info & they went ahead & drew a diagram for that model's dome light. If we end up re-drawing the FB & EK diagrams we should delete that bit.

 I only noticed this myself a couple of weeks back when doing a standard to special upgrade on my FB215
