Project 2.

Thanks for the insight there Brett. I have the same column, but I am going to mount mine to the original style steering box so hopefully there is enough room there to avoid chopping it. But if I need to, now I now how to pull it all apart.

Hi Scott. Let me know if you are after a reco'd box ready to go. I have the one that was on the ute that joined up to the Torrie column.

Thanks for the offer Brett, but I have already cobble together one that should do the job. https://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewto ... 65#p272065
Just need to cut the original shaft and profile a DD into it to accept a 17mmDD to 3/4DD Uni or rag joint. Haven't pulled the trigger on that purchase until I get an engineer involved.

I look forward to seeing what you do Scott. It will be innovative as always

If Scott isn't interested Brett, let me know what you need for it mate

[Brett027]

Having a shed tidy up. To come are a few holden electronic distributors and a few WW2 Strombergs and manifolds. Also a box of brake and clutch cylinders and bits.
Basically getting rid of everything that doesn't belong on the ute.

Making some carb changes. While the hole is there, a pic of the extractors for those contemplating.

[funkyscooter]

Very handy for me! Have the same extractors along with the triple SU's to massage into that space. Good reference for the firewall massaging required.
Thanks Brett

[Brett027]

Scott, the photo may be misleading. I don't think any firewall changes are needed to fit those extractors. The SU's on the other hand might need something done.

Depending on manifold and filters used.

I had to put a fairly sizeable recess in the rattler firewall for the blower installation - pics would be in the build thread. It's on page 7 of the thread if its any help.

I think I have screenshot of your mods on file Blacky - but I'll take another look. Brett, it's mainly space for the SU's I'm interested in (my set up had 2 front mounted fuel bowls and the rear one is facing the firewall) but with the work I have to do, might as well keep a bit of extra clearance for the headers
