Re: Tow bar for EK sedan please
I'm guessing that a towbar for FE-FC will also suit FB-EK. It depends on whether the locations of the rear bumper bracket bolts got revised. Can anyone confirm or deny? Rob According to this thread, FE-EK sedan/wagon are interchangeable: https://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=445 The utes...

Re: Tow bar for EK sedan please
I've got one here on my FB sedan. It's an old aftermarket one that I bought from Dave Pagano many years ago (first time I ever met Dave). I gave it a wire wheel cleanup, some coats of primer and then a few coats of grey epoxy enamel. From memory it has the rams-horn type safety chain connections. I ...

Re: Neil's FB Station Wagon
Was that a test to check swept volume?
If so did they do it by removing the head and measuring bore and stroke, or by using a puff tester? My engineer threatened the former.

Re: Neil's FB Station Wagon
I can remember when the 180kW/tonne idea was floated in mid-2017. Many naysayer's "knew a bloke who's aunt's third cousin is in the RTA, and has the paperwork that it is now law in NSW". I was mid-build on the wagon, and was putting out about 215kW/tonne. https://fbekholden.com/forum/viewt...

Re: Neil's FB Station Wagon
From memory, there is no kW restriction in NCOP. I did not need to supply a dyno run for the wagon. Some states may apply one though.
It would mean I cannot have a bog-stock 350 Chev, but I can put in a 308. Nothing stopping me from leaning on that thing the way we did in the '90's when turbos were only on &*#@ Sierras and trucks. A 308 that COME Racing had breathed on was a significant bit of kit.
Same deal with the 327 I now have. It puts out 300kW, and there is nothing stopping me from going nuts with the cam, intake and exhaust to wind that up even more.

Re: Free to good home - MasterParts Catalogue
I miss the days when the counter tops were stainless steel, and there was a row of these catalogues under the counter. Long shelves with steel bins/trays full of treasure out the back. Items that had a "core charge" because they could be overhauled and resold.

Re: Fibreglass panels... any info?
I still have the moulds. I tried getting a local fibreglass mob to quote, but they never got back to me.

Re: Making your own braided hoses
I think I've worked out what I was doing wrong. Managed to make up the hoses I needed in each of -6, -8 and -10. There is a very fine line between having the hose inserted too far into the fitting (and not being able to start the thread), and having it not far in enough (and having the fitting drive...

Free to good home - MasterParts Catalogue
Pretending to tidy up, and realised I have two copies of the Master Old Farts Cattledog. This was likely a parts department counter copy. It has tabs added along the side for the various chapters. Front cover is missing, as are the first few pages. The rest is intact, and not in bad shape. It's a to...
