I would like to know what badge would have been fitted to the passenger side of the HZ dash in the pic in the link below. It's in my HZ one tonner.

My daughter and I spent this morning pulling what was left of the interior out of our HZ one tonner project. The Commodore split bench that was fitted was a bitch to remove as it was not the most well thought out addition. We will however get the mounts sorted and reuse it. This is a budget rebuild.

There is a chronic rust problem in the passenger side A pillar so this needs to be cut out and replaced. My question is which model replacement piece should I look for if I can't find one from a HZ one tonner

I have been reading through the Holdenpedia and came across this,

Hey guys Ive decided to go the route of a Big Block Chev for my HK Premier, now I'm just trying to find out which engineers are approved by the nsw rta? I know they have changed the rules and regs and chopped a few engineers off the list. Has anyone got an up to date copy?

Need help identifying these steering arms, they were bolted onto a HR front end, HR tie rod ends have a bigger taper and dont fit the hole. The taper appears to be the same as HQ style joints, they are not HQ as they dont have a cast in steering stop.
From the research i have done it appears they may be HG or HT? From what i can see the taper may have down sized during the HK run.
If they are HT I also want to know if the HT tie rod ends have a male thread to screw into a female tie rod?
The part number is not very clear but may start with with 94 and appears to end in 12.

i have just finished my 202 for my hr
usual stuff big cam , port work , big carb
i measured manifold vacum while setting idle mixture screws on 465 holley
while trying to achieve best manifold vacuum i put in drive and the car shook the bonnet enough to slam down onto my gauge and smashed it
but before that i did get a reading of around 6-8 Hg in drive 12-15 in nuetral
now i havent had the holley apart since i bought it so i dont know what size powervalve is in it
but if it has a 6.5 in there will be open at idle ????
im gonna buy a 3.5 and 4.5 to try and see what happens but i dont want to lean it out any when i back off and vacuum shoots up

if this is what is happening , would a vacuum pump help with this ???

"can you guess which half has been polyglazed?"

So I accidently hit a pothole on the way home from work this avo.. Only a little one but when I drove up the driveway I hear a big clunk. I had a quick look underneath and noticed the shock is dangling loosely below the wishbone!!!! I didnt investigate much more cos it was pissing down rain but I'll be havin a good tinker tomorrow. It looks like the 2 bolts that go through the lower mounting pin have either snapped or loosened off. Anyone know the size of these 2 bolts? Or any advice if ya think I've got it wrong?

I don't think it will end well !
