Stainless steel cups and sleeves - I havent had any troubles to date with my brakes with this type ...

Radio restoration ?

Gday Fella's

Can anybody recommend a company that can restore period style radios?

My push button radio outta my FB (HMV from memory) is not working, and has seen better days. I was thinking of getting the internals overhauled.

Any recommendations ... NSW preferred, but of course I could mail it ...

Scratch-plate advice ...

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on different types of scratch-plates that I've seen over the last couple of years.

Some scratchplates have a pearl/frosted finish in the centre of them, and a polished chrome on the outside.

FB Special - Sedan - "Colleen Green + Reef Green"

Hi everyone,

Here are some recent pics of my FB Special sedan.

She has been in storage for 10years now, so it was a real treat to have her registered again and back out on the road!

She is completely stock all round.

Cheers,
Jamie

Does anyone have contact details (mobile/email) for the bloke selling these (no one is answering the landline listed in the Supplier Section)?

... and any ideas much $$$ they are selling for now ?

thanks,
Jamie ...
