thanks for the replies....
I won't be able to attend the all holden day, unfortunately as the EK has issues relating to oiling as a result of oil filter fitment, and I just haven't had time to pull out the engine and return it to original so that its fit for long drives (from Southern Highlands)or use as a daily driver. Not to mention clashing important dates on the same weekend.(Grrrr!)
Thanks for the memory jog on the spare carrier too, so I guess I'll add one of them to my wish list also.......unless anyone here can put me in touch with someone who has one(Please)
Looking forward to a good result with this project. cheers.
