Hi,

Can someone please advise... Can an EH/EJ wiper/washer switch be successfully fitted to the EK/FB Holden without modifications of any kind? This would be used to control the existing EK wiper motor and a generic after-market electric washer unit? Questions that come to mind include:

1. Will ...

Thank you for sharing this very interesting piece about your AI experiment. I wonder whether the AI could be pushed further, for instance to recommend technical upgrades to meet stated specifications. For instance: " Redesign the Holden EK, including its chassis, to include the following engineered ...

I marvel at this astonishing feat of car building, especially the incredible skills that are required.

Here's a tip for washing out an extremely filthy windscreen washer bottle - Half-fill with coarse rock salt and enough water to make a slurry. Close the holes then shake the contained in various directions. Discard the slurry, which will now be dark colored. Rinse well with water. Optionally wash ...

Another thing - if there are parts of the horn mechanism that can be 3D printed, then I'd be happy to give that a try.

Hi there, Do we still have a couple of those contacts that I could buy? My EK's horn does not work and I suspect that the switch/contact area is responsible.

The ute came back today after waiting for the weather to warm up a bit.

The colour is a little bit darker than what I saw in the can but happy with it.
Now to start putting it back together with the drivetrain first up.
Cheers,

This looks great, Roger. Best of luck with fitting the ...

Finally managed to get my notes together from this conversion. Hope it helps the next bloke.

Note there are a couple of places in this process (like redrilling rotors and using port plugs) that your engineer may not like.

Hi,

Does anyone know recommended engine oil grades for the FB/EK grey motor?

Your car looks good, Pedro. What's the latest news?
