No seal on the tailgate of a ute. There is one on a wagon and van though.

I made one for the Ute which works quite well.
See if I can find some photos for you.

From memory I used 15 x 15mm square down the sides and 15 x 25 or 30 for the bottom. Carefully cutting out the bits for the hinges and the stays with a fresh blade. Then used the rubber superglue to install.

Hi Ken, mine's not sitting quite right, think it may be missing the bumper stops. |

Thanks, will look at this also, when I get to the tub - seems to be lots of space there so may look at a seal also. :-) |

There should be adjustable metal catches for the tailgate

Use a heat gun to soften the old sealer and a gasket scrapper to clean it off. Worked well on my sedan especially around the pillars and floor if you have to go that far.

After finding another inspection plate (sans rust holes) I also found a great way to get sealer and any other paint n stuff off - caustic soda (aka draino) works a treat |

Has anyone got a picture of an original fc ute seat - seems lots of them were replaced with sedan seats or others. I think that the seats had seams evenly across (apart from a wider strip on the edges) and that they went vertically all the way up the squab - the utes didn't have the panel across the top of the squab??
Would love to see a pic of a correct ute seat if anyone has one.
thanks

Thanks Alex, thats super, wasn't really sure if there was a wide strip in the middle, I see there is and I see the lines go all the way up the squab Cheers, just what I was after. Helen |

Helen These images may help This image is of the seat that was in my FC Panelvan ambulance, ignore that it has been cut in half but the pattern is correct for FC, panelvan, ute, and standard sedan and wagon Only difference being at the back of the seat, FE ute had a flap of matching vinyl that was attached from the seat to under the back window and acted as a sort of loose parcel shelf behind the seat panelvan had a piece of ply wood, both ute and panelvan were ashtray delete  FE ute seat is different to FC seat as per this pick  Gary |

Thanks, I've got a copy of the brochure but the quality isn't good enough to blow up and see that, very clear in yours, thanks |

 inside tub rear quarter seal by Helen Sheedy, on Flickr been going very slowly lately - other work keeping me away, but I make sure I get back to Ruby and do a little bit. This is where I'm up to atm, just cleaning up the very back of her underneath. This pic is from the top and you can see the mastic is no longer sealing I've already chipped away at it here. Looking at putting another rubber seal in the gap as its so big before using some new mastic. |

Looks like some good progress when the days are so short.
I find that the colder it gets, the longer it takes me to achieve anything.

after finding a hole and built up rust under a plate around the fuel tank opening when working underneath, decided to strip the paint from on top as well. It has had a black coating put over the original beige on the inside. a couple more holes, and some previous brass filling found. Will do some rust converting, some hole repairing and a repaint.
