I have only ever seen one dash panel (FB Standard Morning Grey) that had no holes for indicator arrow thingies and no plugs. This must be RARE.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Not every FB I saw in Indo has them but they were standard as it has always been a metric market. I asked the car club guys in Jakarta about this and they said that when the FB was first released they were so popular that a lot of grey importing was done from Australia and of course those ones had mph speedos.

here's the tag and body No on the EK ute I recently bought

it's a strange colour at first I thought just another honey beige till I saw inside it and it's a very lemony colour I've had it sujested that possably a fleet colour and someone even said they thought Cottesloe cream was an EJ colour but the No comes up on the list of EK colours
there's a strange thing with it that someone (sunnytim) may be able to answer or it just may be nothing, it has a large D in pencil on the firewall

Blacky,

A quick chat with the guys in Jakarta says they are not plentiful. So read that as rare I think.
