Tail gate badges

[Rico]

You are obviously young to shout out statements like that. Shouting is rude and I am only trying to help you.... Please don't do it again... I also suggest you have a chat to some of your older workmates and get your facts right. The original paint Holden painted their cars with was Dulon acrylic laquer and this paint was readily available from paint shops into the 90's. Dulon was bought out by PPG paints. They will also tell you that a factory paint job back then was pretty ordinary and a good spraypainter in a panel shop could not only match a factory paint finish but do far better.

You may be a panel beater but I will bet any amount of money you like that you could not tell the difference between a factory fitted tailgate and a factory replacement one that was fitted when the car was two, four or even six years old. With a good panelbeater you wouldn't even be able to pick a skin replacement. It is also impossible to tell the difference between paint that has been on a car for 25yrs and paint that has been on a car for 30yrs.....

I may be wrong here but I think PPG still have the Dulon paint in their cataloge as Dulon. I could be wrong here Im going by memory form years ago, the name Deltron also springs to mind...is there anyone that can verify my memory here?

MY HJ GMH genuine parts book states the following...........


Description....................................... ..Part No.........Qty........Body Style.......M N P Q S T

PLATE - "HOLDEN" name.......................9933763..........1..... ........70, 80.........X

PLATE - Engine size name "4.2Litre"........9931459..........1.............. 80..................X

PLATE - Engine size name "5 Litre"..........9931460..........1.............80. ..................X

PLATE - "Kingswood" name.....................2814535.........1........ .....80...................X

CLIP - Name plate retaining....................SP1606..........AR... ........70, 80.........X....X

There is NO reference to a body style M70 ("Holden" Panel Van) having an engine size badge/plate on the back.
There are 2 emblems listed being "4.2 Litre" and "5.0 Litre" engine size badges for Kingswood Coupe Utility (Body style N80) plus the "HOLDEN" centre badge for M80 (same as M70) and a "KINGSWOOD" centre badge for N80.
According to my parts book the engine size badge/plate...whatever...is on the left hand side of the tailgate with the "HOLDEN" badge in the centre. There is nothing listed for the right hand side of the tailgate.

I don't pretend to know all the answers but that is what my GMH parts book tells me. No doubt there were variations from plant to plant and year to year......not to mention deletes and customer "special" orders.
