    I have been pretty happy with the gts mirrors and the 4 speed console insert. Have no genuine mirrors to compare with though.
    The cowl replacement corner bits are no where near the correct shape either but can be helpful in a way.
    Othetrwise nothing to report. Have a fun trip!

    More for the wish list


    lower tailgate screws ( the countersunk phillips head ones) and star washers to suit.

    top and bottom tailgate bolt kit including the lower tailgate strap bolts

    replacement radio knobs and the little chrome bits behind them

    the RS lower tailgate straps are OK

    On a positive note...I fitted up the r/h door with their door seal. The material they make them out of now is much MUCH better than the old ones I bought off them years ago for my EK.

    Console inserts and lids are incorrect as per this thread.

    http://www.fastlane.com.au/forums/to...TOPIC_ID=23461

    Are the console lid plastic mounting tabs, screws and spring available seperately from the lids?? I can't find them in the online catalogue.


    GTS clock reset knob and grub screw HJ,HX,HZ

    Round knob bonnet release cable for HQ.... HJ/HX.. currently only T handle HZ/WB style available.

    GTS speedo and tacho front housing, the black part with the mounting lugs. The majority of these have broken or cracked mounting lugs and not everyone has a welder or can weld plastic to repair them.

    GTS dash plastic repair panel for the radio cutout would be really good...

    HJ,HX,HZ GTS dash warning light lenses..... correct repro's not the poor excuse they are at the moment.

    Plastic light bulb holder for GTS fascia warning lights available seperately as it is often missing on original fascia's.

    Chrome border on the currently available HZ GTS dash fascia and the above lenses...

    Correct repro GMH key blanks for HQ,HJ,HX..... squared for ignition, doors and tailgate and rounded for glovebox locks.....

    I tried 4 paint shops and 2 Holden Dealers with paint depts and none of them could help me with the grey vynacoat for the back of my van. I had to settle for "near enough" in acrylic.

    Yes agree'd.... I thought you mean't console and dash paint.... I was unable to get the grey vynacoat also.

    They have done the knob. Well doing it. I sent them samples. I have samples here and will be testing them tonight. They can not do the screw they rekon. I might look at doing it myself.
    What good is the knob without the bloody grub screw?????? The knob is usually missing.... hence no grub screw.... I suppose you could superglue the knob on but then you could never service the clock or replace a scratched lense...

    Exactly what I said. Hence why I will just make the screw and sell it to them. Apparently they can not make it..........I just tested the knob and Im rejecting it. But I guess they will fix the issues.

    Warning lenses for GTS dash I plan to make these very soon if rares dont. Its a joke not having them.

    I would be keen to see this screw as I had no trouble getting the grub screw remade for the Torana Park Brake release knobs.

    I have also just done the heater control knobs for the LH/LX and they have a small screw as well..


    cheers
