Outrigger Insulator

[59wagon]

Hi,
I need to replace my outrigger insulator as it’s now more crumbly than rubbery.



It’s a two piece unit and the one sold by Rares is a one piece.



Anyone know if this is ok for my stock FB?

Cheers,

John

Hi John,

I'm very confident your 2 piece would have started out as a 1 piece early in its career.
That will fit fine.

I've found the same. Some were two piece.

I thought that might be the case Greg, but the one shown in the parts manual showed an upper and lower insulator.



I’ve just looked a bit further and found there’s also a one piece for FE-EK, though no picture shown.

So as you say, it’ll be fine. Thanks

John

It just goes to show that all is not what it seems !

I have had both FB and EK cars and both were 1 piece. I suppose as the FB was being developed into the more refined and superior EK Holden went with the one piece.

Look out here it comes !!!!!!

Au contraire my good man , the General was cutting costs and found it was cheaper to make a single piece figuring the EK was never going to match the style and class of its predecessor

I’ve had cars with each, one and two piece.
