Outrigger Insulator

Post by 59wagon »

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

Image

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 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. :helleyes: :helleyes: :helleyes:

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 :lol: :lol: :thumbsup: :wave:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
