Can anyone manipulate the wheel arch moulds from another vehicle YET?

You know the guys who can roll dents and crinkles out of the chrome strips...

Surely somebody can take ZH trims and fit them on a coupe? I have the ZH trims here ready to go...

I was told a long time ago that the rear moulds off a wagon xa b c are very close to a coupe rear arch. Hope this helps

This is in the too hard basket for a pen pusher like myself. If anyone has or knows of a set of genuine coupe wheel arch chrome moulds I'd be very interested to talk to them (PAT!).

Hi Mate, it's a pretty big ask for the old jellybean mags.

Check out American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels. I believe they are a billet style and come in a series of different backspaces. You still keep the "Old Skool Kool" look too.

Cheers.

Hi all,

Does anyonme have a pair (or set) of BF Goodrich tyres in 235 x 14" ?
Ideally I just need a pair as my rear 265's are perfect...fronts are showing wear.
I am in Sydney but can collect from Rural NSW whilst on work trips if I have to.
All help welcome!

Cheers, Jamie

Jack,

You don't need a different Pedal box to go from Auto to Manual, unless you are planning to use a cable operated clutch. Just a hydraulic clutch pedal (pivots from the top of the pedal, above the rod to the master cylinder) and the longer shaft that the brake pedal pivots off (ideally you would also get the nylon bushes as well).

Pedal boxes are pretty much the same across a large range of falcons (the cable clutch boxes have an additional pivot that can be removed for conversion to hydraulic), but the tricky bit is to get the correct pedal (cable or hydraulic).

It is sometimes even possible to to do the change without needing to remove the pedal box from the car.

Hi Wayne, They are similar to P5 and LTD ones but the front section is lower and missing the stereo slot....would be good anyone after a lid, console bucket or the switch gear though.....could always add another one to the collection!

BTW, did Chris get a bonnet yet? I'll ring u later on.....

Thought I might have some luck in here as utes and coupes share them... I'm after a pair of scuff plates, they don't need to be immaculate but straight with out extra drill holes.

Cheers
