WTB - HJ Tailgate "HOLDEN" badge

[Absinth]

they were stuck on ...not pinned...

Beg to differ Greg. My first registered car was a HJ Holden ex PMG panelvan with end gate badge (part No. 9933763) which was held on with two pins and two tubular 1/8th clips (part No. SP1606). The 'HOLDEN' badge was metal, same as the engine capacity badges, chrome outline to the letters and infill painted black.

I removed the badge, indented around the two holes and bogged them up, painted it with touch up paint from Repco.

The 4.2 and 5.0 engine capacity badges also have two pins held in with the same tubular clips.


Just checked the HZ parts manual and it is the same.
Plate - name 'HOLDEN' part No. 92011680 qty 1
clip - name plate part No. SP1606 qty 2

The end gate name plate and engine capacity badges were deleted on HZ Sandman and the RTS badge was re-positioned to below the tailgate crease.

My old tailgate has the pin holes.

sean ..beg to differ is not a problem..:o..i was wrong and when i went looking i found that i was having an old man moment and was thinking of wb holden badge in plastic...my mistake...so therefore i have no badge for a hj tailgate...:D

[Absinth]

Hehehe, I have those moments quite frequently myself..... the older I get the more frequent they happen.. not to mention my eyesight isn't what it used to be...:errf:

I went looking for a tailgate badge on Ebay and in eight or so pages of Holden badges not one was listed.... there should be heaps of them around as every base model HJ to HZ van and ute had one....

sean i have wrecked 100s of utes and vans over the years and the yard at the moment has a heap in it ...but...i cant remember seeing one in ages..ive got a stack of panels that are rusty that i keep for lock mechs and other fun btis that people loose doing restos so im gunna dig thru that pile next week and see what i come up with..:errf:

A quick question on this subject......

Did all models originally have this central badge? or just Hq/Hj models?

Cheers Al

HQ Sandman ute had either a Belmont or Kingswood badge on the right side of the tailgate and a V8 or 202 badge on the left side of the tailgate, HQ Sandman van had a Belmont badge on the right side of the tailgate and V8 or 202 badge on the left side.

HJ Sandman ute had a Holden or Kingswood badge in the centre of the tailgate and the engine capacity badge on the right side of the tailgate. HJ Sandman van had a Holden badge in the centre of the tailgate and the engine capacity badge on the right side of the tailgate. 202, 4.2 or 5.0 engine capacity badges.

HX and HZ Sandman had the Holden badge and engine capacity badges deleted due to the tailgate decal. Engine capacity badges (4.2 and 5.0) were optional on the tailgate of both models and were mounted on the lower right of the tailgate if optioned.
