[wbute]

sorry for all the questions if im going to do a resto i want to do it right all the way

If you want to do it right then the colour of the column and stalk is important.

Only to glad to be of some help Glacier 73. Do you know if you can buy the plastic boss section of the horn cap, My HZ is currently under a full resto and the boss section is broken and the lion badge is missing, we are probably looking at the same item on eBay..all the best on your restoration, Cheers

Gene, yes it was fabric and vinyl dye. You drove the van and didn't notice the dash was green?

I don't think black is correct for the indicator stalk. I feel sure they were colour coded with the interior.

Ok now you have thrown a spanner in the works because like i said in an earlier post my trim i was told it was a mix of tan and buckskin
and im sure the indicator stalk was tan
bloody confused as now
someone sent me a copy of all the trim codes a while ago off the vin disc but i lost it
anybody got a copy they can email me for a 77HZ

You would think a buckskin stalk would look odd on a black steering column

I wouldn't get too wound up what colour you make it Gene. They have always been a high fail rate item (even from new) and at one stage in the mid 80's Bosch decided they were only going to make the earlier type replacement one (the Commodore one is different) in black only. So many cars/utes/vans etc will have a black one on a coloured steering column because of this reason (I couldn't ever begin to count how many I replaced while working at the Holden dealership I was at back then), that was until another aftermarket manufacturer took up making them in the range of colours again.

Usually column colour, but like you I have provision for/don't mind both colours. My HJ was never delivered with a combo switch (too early), however I have changed the ignition pot to a HX one and with it the combo switch as I was never in love with the dipper switch being on the floor in the early models and wanted it on the stalk. My colomn is black in a Gazelle interior, either colour combo switch works with the interior but black does look better.

Did you notice this one recently? Now not sure but that one looks to have had a brown column to me... The gear selector certainly was brown at one stage.

Indicator stalk will be the same colour as the steering column shroud won't it?

I'll try to remember to check my HZ GTS. It's got 63X, Buckskin with plaid insert and definitely has a Black steering wheel. I think the column, stalk and lower dash might all be black too.

Mine is buckskin interior. Black steering wheel, black indicator stalk, black steering column shroud.
