Non-FE Discussion Forum / 66 Fairlane Leaf Spring Front Bush
« on: April 08, 2026, 05:59:26 PM »
Can anyone please confirm the OD of the front leaf spring bush? When I put this car together I cant remember if I used the original leaves or Australian ones. Measuring the bush OD on the car is difficult but from what I can do, the measurements are not filling me with confidence that the Australian ones will fit. Looking for some degree of confidence before I pull them out. Thanks.

Well it is FE but not technical so thought I'd put it here. No idea how it took me 12 years to find this but thought it was too cool not to share.

FE Technical Forum / Public Service Reminder for GV Owners
« on: February 12, 2025, 03:55:41 AM »
The last couple of times I have driven my car the Gear Vendors overdrive has been slow to engage when cold. So I decided to give it a fluid change. I was surprised how little came out and the colour of it. If you have the standard sump they don't hold much, so GV owners, remember to give it some love.

It was the Adelaide Auto Expo on the weekend so thought I would share a few pics for your entertainment.

FE Technical Forum / 'Line Bore' Timing Chain Sets
« on: September 19, 2024, 06:04:52 PM »
I have always wondered how you know if one will fit? Is there a centre to centre spec that dictates the use of a line bore set?

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Warning on cheap spacers
« on: September 27, 2022, 11:24:35 PM »
Wanting to silence the IAC hiss on acceleration synonymous with Holley Snipers whilst wanting to retain an open spacer and not wanting to stack spacers, I bought a relatively cheap 4 hole spacer on ebay. At 1" thick the idea was to mill out the bottom 3rd to allow cross talk between plenums on my dual plane. Pulled it out of the pack, set it up in my mill upside down and it rocked a little. Odd. Took out, went over to my face plate and sure enough it rocked a little on the top surface. Turned it over and it rocked a MILE! Ended up milling the pockets and then milling the top .010 to get it as pictured (not too worried about the middle bit) and a whopping .040 off the bottom to flatten it. Had I not wanted to mill the pockets I may never have noticed this until it gave me grief. It just shows the ability of some companies to fuck up even the simplest part.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Steering Box
« on: June 01, 2020, 06:25:14 PM »
I am currently rebuilding my 66 Fairlane's steering box. It is an Aussie one but is most likely just an opposite hand of the US one. But this probably does not affect my question anyway. Does anyone know how many balls in this box? I have loaded all the ball bearings back into the worm and there looks like there is room for one more. Is this space normal? I know I didn't loose any but there is evidence that someone else has been in there before.

FE Technical Forum / Installing Felpro Head Gaskets
« on: April 14, 2020, 09:53:18 PM »
Using the gaskets that come in the Felpro full set with iron block & alloy heads. Pretty sure you are supposed to put them on dry & I have done so before with no problem. For some reason I just have an urge to put some sealer on this time. Does it hurt to add some sealer (maybe non- hardening Permatex No.3) around the coolant holes also or is this a no no?

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Convertible Rear Glass Question
« on: April 13, 2020, 05:33:02 PM »
Hi All. The rear glass in my 67 Fairlane 'vert is coming away from the vinyl. There is absolutely no sign of how this was stuck in. No residue, no tape  etc. Even the areas that are still stuck show no signs, the glass is completely transparent. Does anyone know what you use to adhere this glass?
