Steel timing gear for a EK grey motor

[ed.harris]

Thanks Guys,
I am in Perth
I am naughty and don`t have a FB or EK.
I have a FJ ute with a Grey and is a 70`s style custom, done in the late 70`s
13 x 6 wheels thus smaller brakes from later models, rear roll pan and Hillman minx rear tail lights bogged onto the rear of the Ute.
I bought it a couple of years ago licenced but had been locked in a shed since 1981 with previous owners' other car a HQ GTS 2 door Monaro.
The bog etc has cracked etc as you would expect.... looks great... can't see a thing...

The 132 runs too good to play with so, I have a J motor to modify a then bolt up to an Opel 4 speed gearbox.
I have a HR opel Shifter to clear the Bench seat.
I just got the brakes sort of working So I will be starting to drive it around soon as it is while the motor and other mods are done.

I am not going to blast it apart and do full resto, just drive it and fix little things as I go.
I have other larger projects, so the ute will be treated as a private shop truck.

This Forum appears to be very receptive to period Modifications.

Very nice Ed. I’ve seen you on the humpy forum. Sadly things are a bit quiet over there these days. There are a few of us trying to keep this particular forum going, but it seems to be going the same way. Welcome to the forum mate.

Looks cool with the reverse stock rims

Yes I don't mind the rims at this stage.
I have new Hankook tyres on now but I am going to paint the rims black and fit the FC Hubcaps and maybe some 13 inch dress rims.
I feel like I am hijacking the thread, so bye for now.
I might test her out and drive up Kalamunda hill in a couple of weeks.
Yes, humpy thread is dead. Sad to say.

Hi Ed nice Ute mate and I'm sure that we are not going to say no to you being on here.
