Safe travels, Kimosabe.

Cylinder head-to-Norman and Norman supercharger to McGee injector manifolds arrived today, with thanks and respect to Mallaby Sheetmetal and Bain Racing. Need to remember how to use my BMC Mini pixie-fingers. Teaser photos below: IMG_1210.jpeg IMG_1211.jpeg Suddenly the real estate on the (normally)...

Will you need the brakes going West?? Would think the cup holders are more important for your passenger 😊 Point it at the sunset. Engage cruise control stick. Occy strap steering. Use long range fuel tanks when it splutters. Only need brakes once, just before your feet get wet. :lol: Cheers, Harv

Ladies and Gents, I’ve now done four separate batches of the improved cooling gaskets. The last three times, I got inundated by people wanting a gasket after orders had closed. I am a sucker for a sob story, so on-sold from my own stash. This time I got clever, and ordered some extras for the lateco...

I picked up the parts yesterday from Astor Metal Finishes. This was my experience: a) I had a sump and a 6" long steering arm rechromed. They had recently been plated, but the sump had two blisters and the arm had been chromed over the splines. My plater had passed away, so I needed a new shop ...

Take as many photos as you can Sneezy, and post them here. A few of the guys have partial subframes kicking around, and if you are lucky the bits you need are still on their donor subframe.

Photos of the bar. Apologies for not posting them via PM - there is a 500kB file size limit for PMs, and I’m short on time to resize the photos. There is a ball that goes with it.

Cheers.

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...

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 ...

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.

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...
