That is silly. We used to chuck these in the bin. There was a dozen of them at the locak Holden wreckers when it basically shut down last year.

and again with the hz radios at $150..but ive sold them all..

I bought one just before Christmas in great nic for $130. I thought that was quite fair.
You don't get much for that any more and I was quite happy.

Interesting thread.
Just for curiosity's sake what is the wheel from in the second picture at the begining
of the thread.
The reason I ask is that I have one of those type of caps that it has on it and have always wondered what it was from.
Cheers Paul.

My wifes old SS Torana had a blank cap. HX Sandmans had it. Not sure about the HJ sandman I think it had the same cap as HQ sandman as the font type was the same.

paul its the blank cap from hj hx ..it was also used as the cap you got if you optioned a statesman/kingswood etc etc with a sports steering device up until the hz/uc/wb series cars...

Thanks guys.
Now with that information it has twigged the memory and I think it came from a HX van I bought many years ago for the black GTS dash and the GTS steering wheel it had on it.
It was the same colour as this pic of Leroys.

I have wondered in recent years if it was a sandman but it had the 9942992 tyre placard on it.
So if I have it right 4.2 Litre Eng. 10 cwt. Panel Van
Cheers Paul.

So is the new wheel from Rares up=to-spec? A mate had one years ago is his HQ wagon (308, M21) it was a OEM wheel though and it was great to drive with. That wag was awesome too! Brown with a white roof and Long Grain Gazelle interior. Ahhh the 70's, such a special time of style.....
