Re: EK Drum Brake Dissasembly

Yeah i Agree, Ive been relying on my "Holden 6" manual, but it doesn't have the EK specific info.

Any advise on which version is the most comprehensive, Holden "green" book, Gregory's, Max Ellery's?

Thanks,

EK sedan rear seat

Hi guys, chasing an Ek sedan rear seat. Located in Qld. Any trim, a grey/blue (not sure of colour code) would be ideal but I realise that's asking a lot.

Re: EK auto to manual conversion details?

Hi again, so I purchased the car...wasn't an Auto car after all. It has a fabricated oversized transmission tunnel welded in and a dodgy bracket made from angle holding the gearbox in.

Therefore, I'm going to try to cut the tunnel out and fold up a near original one and keep an eye out for an ...

Re: EK auto to manual conversion details?

Ok great, thanks for the advice.

If I'm going to do the conversion (and considering it is non-original from the start) I could live with upgrading an m20 or Celia with floor shift for simplicity.

I would like to ...
