Hi all,

Time and funding has come for some engine work.

Im looking to take the original running grey out and store it, then the plan is to get a grey from a EJ to warm up as Ive been told the greys from the EJ had a few better things inside them and are a bit stronger.

As I need to buy a motor ...

Can anyone recommend where to source some period seat belts in NSW?

I have two little ones now and need seat belts in the rear installed for the baby seats however I really dont want to use those plastic types that are on modern cars. Ive checked ebay and the only ones in good condition seem to be ...

Hi mini,

I dont think the boards will fit well on the basket type set up. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone have or know where there is a set of roof racks for a FB Wagon.

I generally ride short boards that fit in the back but have just acquired an awsome 60's single fin (7'4'') that would be better suited to the roof (plus just had our second child so the over the rear seat trick is out ...

Just did this myself. Used the red six alternator which is also the same used for the early model commodores.
Brand new was $235 from repco.

You will need around a 15-17mm spacer for the bottom bolt to bring it square with the fan belt and an long (200mm) alternator adjustment arm.

Found a complete wiper set including motor on ebay. Scored the whole lot for less than a trip to the bottle shop

Also, thanks Trev for helping me out.

Mick

Thanks Trev,

Heres what I think I should do:

Step 1. Disconnect the arm at the wiper motor

Step 2. Remove arm. Does the spindal thing simply pull ...

Hi all,

My drivers side wiper is playing up, only wipes about a 25% area of the middle section of the windscreen. Im thinking the spindal thing that attaches to the wiper arms need replacing.

But how do I get it out to replace?

I have removed the wiper blade, retaining nut and crome spacer ...

Its a rubber cup that goes over the handbrake cable and sits on the end of the handbrake shaft.

This rubber has perrished and split so now the ...

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed the pics. With regard to the buttons, none of them seem to do anything. :shock:

Ill sit down and spend some time and see how it cleans up. The car is only for Sundays and Ive finished Uni for another year so Ive got a bit of time to play.

Thanks for your advice

Mick

The original owner of 40 years was an electronic engineer who enjoyed well electrics. No kidding, there are leads to the clutch, brakes and accelerator ...

This was at Sandon Point, North of Wollongong, followed by a run up the coast road to Scarborough Pub.

The cars turned some heads that day.

My favourite part of a Wagon, the tail gate. Always makes for comfortable mobile seating.
