Hi

There were 2 types of battery leads for the EK. For all FB's and up to Jan 62 EK's this type of lead was fitted, from Jan 62 the spring clamp type seen through right up to Commodore was used. Don't worry it's not acid in the battery box, just oil from the air cleaner

Hey Tim
Can you still get that ribbed washer bottle hose, and can anyone tell me where I could purchase the thingy that screws into the manifold for the vacum line for the wipers as per your picture.
