Interior Light

Hi,
I've finally replaced my non working interior light that wasn't wired up with a new one, now I don't know where the wires connect to, do I have to solder them on? Anyone have any pictures?

Re: Overriders Bent

Thanks Rob,
Sounds like I need to take it off again, when I was putting it back together it looked like I had left and right overrides as the holes didn't line up on one side, but would fit on the over side. Appreciate your help. I'll post up a picture tomorrow Errol.
Regards

Overriders Bent

Hi,
I recently picked up a second hand ek holden front bumper and overriders and used the right and center section and fitted the overriders onto the new bumper and they don't sit straight, they are leaning out. How can I straighten up the overriders or is this normal?
Thank you

Re: EK Braided Flexible Transmission hose

Hi All,
I ended up just purchasing a braided flexible transmission hose on ebay from Early holden parts, very good product and worked. No one in Canberra was willing to make me up a new flexible hose. So I fitted my new metal cooling line and flexible hose with a new brass connector and finally its ...

Re: Leaking Cooling Line or adaptor?

Ok I fitted new cooling line for the hydramatic and now it's leaking worse than it was before, is there a trick to installing the cooling lines so they seal properly, as its tightened but I don't want to over tight it.
Thanks
