The extra wires in the indicator on FEs and I understands early FCs (they are late model cars) is for red flashing indicators. I replaced the EK the black bits with an FE setup from ebay (the Van had EK an column when purchased) set up. Yes you have to be careful little ball bearings dont go flying. If you want the more usual separate orange indicators just use the EK wiring. I like the original FE indicators and they are still legal.

John

For all those that would like have a T700 operated through an FE/FC/FB/EK column with the original look and steering wheel to satisfy yourself or wife here it is mocked in my vice ready for Kathi's FE
Thanks John, This all seems to be right round the corner and I will be doing the wiring in a few weeks. So did you use the wires from FC or EK? I think I have to use the Ek as I haven't looked to see if the FC ones I have contain all the wires for reverse and indicators. Cheers |

The FE/FC indicator has two sets of wires. One set works the front indicators and idiot lights. The second set are wired through your brake lights so the brake lights flash as indicators. Sounds weird but you just have to follow an FE wiring loom or most GM US looms which use the same system.
The FB/EK setup omits the second set of wires and so you can only have separate orange indicators at the rear.
I used a hotrod wiring loom which I could use either system.
The reversing lights have nothing to do with indicator and are controlled by the neutral switch safety switch. I must admit having reversing lights make it easier when backing the van at night.

John

The extra wires in the FE FC indicator are to run the brake lights through them. So the FE FC indicator switch has 2 wires for each front indicator and 2 wires for each rear indicator, whereas the FB EK switch has all the indicators run from just the 2 wires.

So anyway I have been a little slack. I had to try out the molasses thing so went and bought some. Cant believe ow well it works too.    So here she is all ready for a trial fit, power steer pump and aircon removed  Patty Gardner mounts  You'll see how the VS aircon unit is heaps smaller and will mount drivers side infront of brake booster  |

Yes I know the bleeder on caliper upside down and mount plate bolts back to front. My haste and excitement for a photo tripped me up. LOTS more care when installing in car.
At least I spent the money on new bearings wile they're out. Oh and new bendix pads all round too
