Tow bar for EK sedan please

G'day,

I am seeking a tow bar for my EK sedan please. I am based in Melbourne, so am prepared to pay for delivery if your tow bar is beyond sensible driving range.

Hope to hear from you.

Regards,

Andrew

Re: NASCO weathershield

Hi Harv,

Did you obtain a resolution for your enquiry about weathershields? As it happens, I am now seriously considering trying to obtain one, but there seems to be little information about them (including installation instructions).

Re: Hand-crank for grey motor

This was a most unexpected topic for me to see on this car forum. Is this a late April 1st joke, or are you seriously contemplating installing a crank handle on your FB/EK Holden?

Re: Review Mirror glass replacement.

Thanks, Mick. Your note helped prompt me to keep raking through the web pages until something worked. In this case, using Attachments. It's by no means elegant, but has worked once so far.

That worked, but I was using a small picture already found on the Internet. Now let's try a decent-sized image...

Looks like this works. On a web browser, use Attachments. Ignore all of the other buttons that suggest image posting features.

Re: Review Mirror glass replacement.

Originally I did consider replacing the glass. However, after driving the car several times and noticing how terribly narrow the field of view was in the originally 8 inch wide mirror, I bought a new genuine GM reproduction of a period-correct 10 inch wide version that was supposedly compatible with...

Re: Bonnet bird measurements

Thanks to @ekspcl and @blacky for variously sharing the measurements and the scanned instructions. One thing that I find with these cars is the need to frequently deal with bonkers-sounding dimensions like "12 and 5/32" and "10 and 33/64" as opposed to clean dimensions like 309 m...
