Hi
I am chasing a mid 70s Bedford CF Van to use as a Vintage motorbike hauler / camper.
The few that i have found have been full of rust. Hard to get a good straight one without bog or rust in it.
Engine condition doesnt matter .. i have a good 186 here.
Would prefer registered .. but again not ...

Hi All

I cc'd the management at Better Auto Rubber in on my last email to The Old Auto Rubber Co the other day.
I received phone call replys within 24 hours from the managers at both stores.... O>A>R is a distributor for B.R,C.

The manager of B.A.R head office in QLD has explained the situation ...

Hi 73 Coupe.
Thanks for the tip.
I googled.. " Better auto Rubber" and then checked "Contact US"
Interesting to note that Better Auto Rubber address is the same address as "Old Auto Rubber Company" at 6 Cassola st, Penrith

So... I scrolled through B.A.Rs list of EH rubbers... no lower tailgate seal ...

Hi Bootlegger.
One would imagine that the panelvan would have to have one.. otherwise the occupants would have got fumigated !!!
My panno has one on it. It has the usual holes every 150mm apart similar to the top tailgate.
The rubber on the EH looks more like chunks of charcoal all hanging on the ...

Hi.. and ... G'day after a 12 months absence....

After selling the FB Panno I bought an EH Panno... yeah.,..yeah .. I know ... bloody trater :roll:

Was a mess when I bought it from Katoomba and have een slowly sorting it out... Not far off rego now and attention has turned to a set of 14 inch ...

Hi Mick..
Yep your right. The pannos have 2 brackets on the FB/EKs and are "steeper " to suit the different shaped turret above the windscreen. Sedans have a flatter roof line
I am chasing 1 bracket to suit an EH panno sunvisor.. I think ... just by looking at the roof lines the EH panno is a lot ...

Hi Theo..
There was a bee hive heater with dash vents and the bit I am chasing on ebay a few weeks back.. forgot to bid... sold for $60.00
Will probably end up making one out of a vacumn cleaner nozzle :laughinggg:

I have a complete heater box out of a HR I reckon I could butcher up and fit up ...

Hi Bob

I have an EH sedan I am wrecking down the back yard.... it has an Aussie 4 speed in it... what I am chasing might be right under my nose...

Reddo

Yo..
Does anyone make or have the curved "vacumn cleaner " style head that actually screws onto the Smiths "Beehive" heater to feed the hose that goes up to the demister vents????
Regards
Reddo

Yo..
Chasing a front slip yoke.. or a complete tailshaft modded to suit a Celica/supra cast iron 5 speed box into EH ???
Not sure if they are the same length as FB/EK modded shaft??

Also chasing a EH Prem heater. don't need console and switch... just the heater box with all fittings would be good ...

Hi newby.

The wiring is even simpler, if you're using a modern alternator with an built-in regulator. These were fitted to all Holdens HJ & later.

Unwrap the harness between the old reg & gen & follow this.

The only 3 wires that matter are:-

1. The thin brown wire that goes inside to the dash ...
