Hi all

I'm after a ute or van filler neck , i have a custom tank but need the filler neck to couple it all together. I have the original tank that's in good nick that I'd like to move on to some one that needs one so don't really want to cut it up.

That’s a generous offer sneezy. I do need one for my van but prolly let someone that can come to you get it. That is unless you want to bring it to Stanthorpe.

Having a clean up on the weekend and taking a heap of stuff to the dump to make room in the shed to get this old girl finished. If anyone is in need of a ute fuel tank I have one that came out of my brothers ( we have fitted a custom tank) plenty of people here have been kind enough to help out so ...

Is it a collapsible column? If so, the steering wheel end must be mounted using breakaway slip plates bolted to the dash frame to pass engineering and also to be effective. The original mount can still be there but more as a decoration. Sorry if this has been raised previously.
I have a similar ...

Big thanks to all that helped out with info and measures on where where to punch some holes in for the rear shock mount access. One more job ticked of the list today!! Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

Looks great mate [emoji106]

A ute sold over here on the weekend , painted in honey beige and all chrome done was rolling and needed assembly - reminded me of this ute and I was very tempted but I have enough projects as it is ...... Hi Blacky
Chrome is something we still need to sort have it ...

I know I have to put it on stands again next weekend to sort the rear shocks but I couldn't resist putting the new wheels on and seeing how she looks. Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

Strewth. That looks very much like what I did with my FC sedan, except that I modified an HT rear shock absorber upper mount member to suit.

From memory, the distance between centres of the mounting holes is 425 mm. The shocks lean inwards at about 45 degrees, and the mounting holes are about 50 ...

Small issue hoping someone may be able to help, with the amount of panel replacement done on the old girl they have forgotten to put in some access holes to get to the rear top shock mount. Would anyone happen to have a picture or a measurement before I take a stap in the dark ? 20251019_120637.jpg ...

The rear shock/lower spring mounting plates aren't on quite right. They need to be turned over so the shock absorber mounting stud is at the forward, inside corner and pointing forwards. And it would probably be a good idea to put a rear spring rubber and retainer between the rear spring and the ...
