Rare Spares

[GTS]

Also, their rear beaver panel dosen't have the recess for the winch handle to go through but I've bought that to their attention and I believe they are fixing it.
Their full top cowl replacement panel was nothing short of a joke and I got my money back on that one. Again, I'm told they have stopped making them and were trying to find a new supplier for the corner section only.

As for their tailgate....yet another joke. You have to do modifcations to make it fit a van (like cut the top corners out and weld them up again)
Have you ever tried welding tissue paper?

Just a note too, as well as problems, also looking for stuff that is actually good, and stuff you want them to do (so make, repro, refurbish etc). Basically the old physcological trick of providing as much positive feedback as negative.

Wish list


HJ GTS dash facia
1 litre cans of correct interior colour paint
Top tailgate....not made of tissue paper
Van lower tailgate .....not made of tissue paper
HJ windscreen washer bottle with the correct markings
Replacement plastic covers for the bucket seat mechanism
HJ grille badge and insert
HJ grille
The little spring for the lock on the top tailgate struts
Upper and lower dash alloy mounting frames. Most I've seen either have a big cut out for a CD player or the bonnet cable retaining hole is broken off.

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.

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.

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.
