gas tank switch lever..
Was in need of a replacement fuel tank toggle switch lever for my existing switch.
Looked like another of those unobtainable items for an 11/12 cab, so found a replacement until I can locate an original.. Looked around in my junk and came up with an old M-series vacuum wiper motor with an interesting lever, then modified it to fit the original C8 tank switch. Looks pretty convincing at ten feet away... Thanks, David

Question for Max
Even with a cab 12..... when the windshield...ahem I mean windscreen... is opened forward don't you still have a central pillar in place that can hold the vacuum line similar to a cab 13....?
....or is the Holden models done differently...? Still trying to learn about CMPs.. Boob

Had another look with digital tricks.....
Hi David
Now that you raised the question, I went back and using the photoshop contrast adjustment, I have determined the following...... On the white paint labelling which I always believed to be original..... Well the first one labelled heater says STOP on the small plate.....like mine. The second one showing Plate.... which I think meant the light for the license plate at the rear...... I could not make out the small metal tag... ...but the last one labelled panel shows a faded INSTR on the small switch plate and is a similar 2 way switch going left or right and a central detent position....agian like mine. I have a few other cab 11 that I can check but it is dark outside right now. My conclusion is that the pattern shown on my cab 11 is probably original..... I would defer to Saleman Bob in Aussie land to confirm...... mind you all the Aussie switches are mounted upside down...... Boob

Cab 11 Instrument Clusters
Hi all - hadn't followed this thread to date until I received a heads up from Alex in Kalgoorlie.
Firstly David, it is good to see someone else brave enough to dissemble and refurbish a speedometer. I know what you went through, I have done at least twenty to date and each one is as difficult as the next. Had a look at the Chevs of the '40s site, very good. I notice that the speedometer decal was a "Bright Lights" one? Was that appropriate for your cluster, or should it have been a "Dim Lights" one. I ask anyone who has an original Cab 11 cluster if they would check on this aspect as I am trying to date when "Bright Lights" came in. At least I now know what a Chev Cab 11 instrument configuration looks like. Still working on the Ford variables. Bob

serial data plate
Hello Bob,
The instrument cluster I used came from a '46 model. My original was so rusted that the speedo was unreadable. Never noticed about that "dim light- bright light" difference before... Received a serial number plate for the C8 yesterday from Dirk Leegwater,(thanks, Dirk!). Very nice! Metal was too thick to emboss the number from the back side like original, but no one around here has the ability to do that anyway. Pulled out one of those label makers and some aluminum tape to try my hand at putting the information on the plate myself. Worked OK, but wasn't enough room for the last digit on the engine number. At least I can pull it all off if another option arises, plus this way I haven't permanently screwed up my plate. Thanks, David
