Here we have some pics of the inner reinforcing plate for the hinges on a FB/EK ute tailgate, anyone know if the wagon tailgate uses the some plate?

Hi OZ I had a look this morning at one of the roached Station Wagon tailgates that I have and have to tell you they are totally different.
The reinforcing plate in the Wagon (from what I can see) goes all the way from the hinge at the bottom up past where the side spring loaded latches come through it even seems to have a formed piece for the rod to go through (I think) if I get time today I will cut the skin off so I can get a photo.
I don’t think it has the horizontal strengthening bar either.
By the way I believe that tailgate you have is FC as it has 4 screw holes where the side latch plate goes and FB EK has only 2.
Regards
Neil

Thanks for the info!....Wagon appears to be very different to the ute, now thinking FE / FC wagon might be similar to the ute?

I think you are correct Phil. The FE wagon evolved from the van as far s I can see. it was the first wagon that gmh produced.
