Haha that's the windscreen wiper switch - somewhere in its life it had an electric conversion

Looks very tidy and definitely worth hanging onto. Bummer about the hub cap, they usually hang on really well in my experience. I guess you lost the "H" too. Although I did lose a wheel trim somewhere in the Flinders Ranges 20 yrs ago..........

So the car is currently at Frank Tedesco autos getting an complete overhaul - fixing all issues others had supposedly fixed! Really surprised by the dodgey shit some people do. Refreshing to find someone like Frank and have him and his son work the car.... absolute perfectionists

Should be ready after Christmas .... then all I need is a steering box to get reconditioned, then get the final bit of rust fixed then it should be 100% complete.

I've got some steering boxs here I could send one down if you want
Also have two good white panic handles I've been going to put in the mail for you
If you still wanted them

Thanks Jay I got the panic straps sorted

But may take you up on the steering box offer

So after spending a fortune at a local shop Frank Tedesco has fixed up all the dodgey shit that they did

New clutch and slave cyclinder, new hand brake, gear box mounts, and new rear seal, new universal joints, replaced the tail shaft and front yolk, replaced the leaking tappit cover, changed fly wheel, rear box cover was missing so replaced that! Speedo cable, new fuel sender.
brakes fixed - dickhead who did them previously had machined them way too much and had wrong brake shoes on them!!! new brake master cyclinder, drums, brake shoes and wheel cylinders, fixed the gear box and gear linkages and fixed the door handles and door locks

Drives like a new car lol

Just needs some whitewalls and spats then done

Sweet mate
white walls will set it off nicely

New rocker cover on its way .... remake of original from Daniel Kleinig

Nice one D-Man. I didn't know they were knocking them out.

Stephen he did a small run - he may do more in the future
I placed my order mid (?) last year, the first batch had problems with casting then the 2nd were ruined getting finished. This was the third lot.
Hopefully worth the wait!
I think there are possible plans to make more products such as manifolds and headers.

what's wrong with your old rocker cover and what are you doing with it?

Nothing wrong with it Mick just can’t have too many rocker covers! I already have a front breather and had been looking for a twin breather for awhile

If the rims are orriginal they should hold pretty well - the newer ROH wheels dont have a proper slot for the caps to lock onto so you need to make them with a grinder or dremel - had same issue on mine to start with so check the wheel has the correct groves pressed in.

I still think the custom triple breather rocker cover was pretty cool . Whatever happened to it?

Hey D-Man I think you should give it a good shake down by coming across the paddock to the Nationals Mate.
