FCRB30 Wagon

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

the F**d door hinge bushes didn't fit

Did you get the right model Ford? If you are desperate I have a set of the repros somewhere (I think?).

[pedro]

Yes i got the ones you said Stinky the outsides could have been made to fit with a bit of sanding but the insides were too loose, it's alright Pete is going to knock me some up,   the Col Hersee switch arrived today and worked perfectly  finally got the wiring almost complete now, just a bit of taping and interior lights to do, the old girl even has reversing lights lol.

The switch where the choke should be is for the heater fan, I'm looking for another chrome knob if anyone has a spare, I have plenty of plain ones but only the one chrome one unfortunately.

Nice Pedro,you have done well!

[fcwrangler]

Pedro, I might have one in the shed, I'll have a look tomight and let you know.
Jim. p.s. looking good so far eta for on the road??

[brett_f]

Glad the switch worked Pedro. Also looks like its built to last not like some of the switches out there.

Hey Pedro - the red and black ('isolated danger' ) dash is coming up real  looks great!

(and a shift knob with the imbedded redback spider might be appropriate??)

cheers, jack

Hey pedro so the bush just needs to have the centre hole the same as the crank and a single step the depth of the thickness of the material so it inserts into the wiper arm.

been a while thats all.

Thanks Pete they look great, that was quick, I should have just asked you in the first place instead of stuffing around for weeks, you better add them to your catalogue i think you might get a few more orders  , Thanks for the tip re the switch Brett i would have been stuffed otherwise, the Auto sparky was trying to tell me that VL wiper motors were different and i was going to have to try and modify it but it parked on the HR switch so i figured it wasn't the motor, I like the idea of the redback spider shifter Jack wonder if there is an auto shifter with one, thanks re the chrome knob Jim, not sure how much longer it's going to take really, once i get past this bit and get onto the part where things are meant to fit together it should go a lot quicker, but as Craig said there is always a lot of waiting for stuff involved too.

Pedro, I could only find an old light switch and choke knob, they both have good chrome. You should be able to remove the chrome section and refit it to your switch.
Jim

[pedro]

Thanks Jim i appreciate the offer but i have a couple of the chrome parts what i really need is the base part with the screw in it, found a mob in pommyland that sells the flexible heater ducting if anybody need some.

[FCRB26]

Ive got some ducting here if you need some got it at repco from memory the alloy type.

Also PM me your address ill send bushes speaker adaptors that wayne organised you probablly dont know about intake pipe.

[pedro]

Thanks Pete that will be great, speaker adaptors?? let me know how much and i'll send the dough down.

[pedro]

Couldn't get an ice thermo fan so i bought a tornado brand one, supposed to be the most powerful with 3,300 cfm, only problem is the temperature switch is too big it's a 3/8 BSP thread and the old one is a lot smaller, tried to find a smaller one on e-bay and through google but no luck, I don't even know what size the old one is, any suggestions.
   Pedro

[FCRB26]

I had to drill and tap the manifold which is wafer thin .

Make a new top thermostat housing longer pipe and weld a boss onto it so it screws into that?

Or make an adaptor off the aeroflow threaded RB necks

[pedro]

I was looking at the type that fits in between the radiator fins, can't see why they shouldn't work with any type of fan it's only got two wires positive and negative that you reverse to change fan rotation.

Got a nice parcel from Pete this morning, speaker surrounds, intake pipe and wiper bushes, Pete to the rescue again, thanks mate greatly appreciated. 



Haven't spent much time on the wagon this week i've been playing with my new bike  , traded the Triumph in, spent all my money on a Fatboy and i've hardly been out of the saddle since, fuel injected, 1584 cc's, six speed, love it.
