Correction it is the HJ was the last model with a 5mm GTS steering wheel not the HX.

My HX Monaro was an early build built HX, 11/76, from the Elizabeth plant and is fitted with a 5mm Steering Wheel and also has the lift up front lid console fitted. I was wondering if the assembly plant was using existing stock in the early run of this model as I have seen HX Monaoro's fitted with both types of consoles but to be honest haven't taken much notice of the steering wheels on these vehicles.

Correction.... Early HZ Sandman. The change to the 3mm spoke wheels was Jan 78.

HX and HZ T bar Auto were available with the HJ style lift up lid console as an option, this option was not available on manual floor shift cars.

There was much debate on here a while ago about when the change over occurred. No answer was agreed upon.

Answer is in the HZ parts manual. January 1978.
