308

Hi guys,

I bought a 1969 HT brougham about 2 years ago. I’ve been doing research on it for a while. They’re pretty rare so getting info on them seems to be a bit hard. I think it might have some rare options as I can’t seem to find any pictures or info of cars that are the same. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

It’s got cloth and vinyl bucket front seats with small headrests(perhaps they’re just high back) and a centre console. Also on the r/h side it’s got water temp and oil pressure gauges where there normally seems to be nothing on other cars.

Wanted. I'm looking for a LH top of door trim for a hq coupe. Has anyone got one they would consider selling
I have had a full set of coupe chrome fully reconditioned and didn’t release that I had 2 RH ones so 1 of them is for sale. Can any one help me

Is it possible to buy the gasket that sits between the heater box and the firewall for HQ-Z Holdens?
I'm also looking for replacement vacuum actuators. Are they still available or is it best to source a similar item (https://www.summitra...)?

Hi Crew. I am replacing the RHF door seal and can't for the life of me push the little xmas tree retainers into the inserts. Is there a special tool or technique? or do you not use the inserts? It is all Rare spare parts.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Long time no post...

I just pulled my old 3 door ambo out of storage (not a 3 door any more, rebodied) as I need to sell it, child coming... I don't want to sell it and tbh ill try not to.. Im getting off track..

Hey guys, went to start the 308 this morning and head out for a cruise. Turned the key and all I got was a few soft knocking sounds and then nothing. Might have been very weak efforts at cranking?

Battery read 12.39V has new dizzy, leads, coil, plugs and was running beautifully the other day?

How do I check for sure that's it's the starter?

Thanks.

Hey guys, Just wondering if it's possible to do a cam, lifters and timing chain swap on a HJ Statesman without pulling the engine?
Thanks for any advice.

Hello, I have just replaced all front end steering and braking components and the drivers side wheel now sits on an angle when the steering wheel us straight.... at first I thought this was just a simple wheel alignment fix, but the more I look at it, it could be a wrongly adjusted tie rod on the drivers side?

Do you guys think I should remove the tie rod and shorten the length to pull the wheel straight?
Thanks

Can anybody tell me if the rear cover strip at the rear window down near the boot is the same on a coupe and a sedan.
If they are does anybody have one they could sell me I am not after the chrome strip it self just the cover part

Hey guys, I have a question about a leaking thermostat housing and water pump on an old red 308.
I recently replaced both with new ones,and used new high tensile bolts, but they are still leaking. Any ideas? Is it the high tensile bolts? Thanks.

We have misplaced original VIN tags , removed for painting, 10y project, does anyone do replacement tags, Holden HJ Monaro sedan

$200 ono located in Torquay.

Can any one provide info on where the cassette player as an option was fitted to the HZ GTS.

IN the Brochures I have the radio is a white needle in both the Premier and the GTS I'm wondering if like the HX LE Coupe if this optioned was requested was the centre console exchanged for one similar to the coupe and the Statesman Caprice so that the cassette player would be fitted into the space that this console was used for in those models

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated bearing in mine that I only want restore my car to factory specs/authorised options

Greetings all.
I have a slow weepy leak thats coming out of the high pressure hose side of the power steering pump.
Dribbles out and under the pump itself and drops itself straight on top of the rag joint , which is now munted. I have unscrewed the hose for a look thinking that it may have an O ring that is dried out but alas there is no o ring of any sort.
Is there supposed to be an o ring around the threaded end so when its tightened up it seals ?
I spoke to Repco who found a listed part but its only the size of the flared end of the pipe itself.

Hi Guys,

Im looking to do a hydraulic clutch conversion when i put the supra box in my HQ.
Ive got a CRS belhousing, and was looking at geting the CRS hydraulic clutch kit as well.
My concern is ive seen a few posts on various forums that say they arent a good fit etc.
Has anyone fitted one recently? Have they improved the design in any way?

Thanks in advance.
