Default Seat frames

Hey John, I sure you could find a couple of seat frames under my house. I have found a set of Acco rear fair-leads you may adapt for your project.

Default Back into it

Hi all, Too long since working on the C15 but got the house to lock up so i can get back to the real job at hand.The base of the cab went on and back into the shed she went.Front nose is on and guards,today i worked on rebushing the compressor as it had a severe oil leak.I found on dissassembly the big end bush had come out and allowed the oil to flow down the oil hole and fill up the crank of the compressor and out the breather.Also the breather wasn't sealed to the pot so i sealed it all up and hopefully it holds oil.Hand brake all done and finishing off the transfer shifter assy.Note the poor old white Chev in the third photo has been robbed of her front diff no more outings for a while. ( Thanks to Euen the fun police)

Default Restoration updates

Hi all Progress photos below.Bobs excellent reco job of dash in the foreground.Note the oil preasure of the one i just got and it has an electronic temp gauge.Feel free to let me know.The new loom was made by Vintage Wiring Looms of Ringwood Paul the owner is the easiest bloke on the planet to deal with nothing is a problem for him.

Do you have any idea what the cluster with the 60 psi oil pressure and the electric temperature gage came off? That one will work very nicely if you re engine to a 235 or 261. As the later engines have a lot more oil pressure and on the standard gage the needle just sits at top peg. The electric temperature gage will also be interesting as some of the later engines have an electric sensor just under the thermostat at the front of the engine. May take a little playing around to find the correct sender unit or to match/trim the resistance to get a proper reading.

Looks like you are making real good progress.

Cheers Phil

Default Dash cluster

Hi Phill, Not sure what it is out of but today i had the voltage and resistance of fuel and temp gauges tested. 6V and suplied the correct sender unit to suit the gauge.I pulled it apart to clean and paint it,the glass and gauges are like new it will suit the 235 a treat as you say.
