Thanks Blacky will do

Anyone know what is involved in having seat belts installed in the rear and having a baby restraint point on the back parcel shelf?

Thanks for the help guys - ended up finding a reconded generator for $80 bucks!

Picked it up last night so will put it in sometime this week.

Cheers - mine is definitely a Bosch. The photo I posted was just one I grabbed online that I thought was similar to mine

So is it worth getting the Bosch reconditioned? Or second hand one from a wreckers?

Just checked - its a Bosch!

So i'm assuming that the Lucas cant be interchanged with the Bosch?

I'm guessing a Lucas? It's standard so that would be a lucas right?

Just read this thread!

Keen to come along on the next run

Have seen a few web sites (like http://www.classiccarstereo.co.uk/) were you can ...

Thanks for all the replies guys - great info to know.

I will keep some fuel handy - now just to teach the wife how to take the air cleaner off and pour the fuel down the carby when she wants to go for a drive!

Hi guys

Our EK (standard 138) has trouble starting if left for over a week. Longer we leave it, the harder it is to start. I hadn't started her for about 3 weeks, and tried yesterday - basically it seems like it isn't getting any fuel. I tried for about tenminutes and it just wouldn't start. I ...

welcome to the forum

Did you get your starter motor sorted ?

All good thanks, picked up one from a classic Holden wrecker. Thanks anyway.

We recently purchased our EK, and it is pretty much stock standard.

It's in pretty good nick, just had the dramas with the starter motor but took her for a good drive this morning and she starts fine now.

Also (not in the pics) just got custom number plates ...

Thanks for all the help and offers guys, ended up picking up one from Classic Olden Holden in Cannington! Bargin.

Will fit it tomorrow and see how she goes.

Pulled the old starter motor out tonight, smells pretty burnt...I'm guessing that is not normal!

Will pull it apart on the weekend and have a good look at it.

Thanks for all your help! Looking forward to get more involved in the forum.

Cheers
