HI all, i'm after a set of Weld/Draglite Rims, 15/9 or 10 and 15/7. If anyone has some for sale let me know thanks!

Also i'm after the brackets that hold the front sway bar on in the middle to the sub frame for a hr, as i mananged to some how bend the [Naughty Pottyword] out of mine.

Thanks again!

i have my tri matic in a trans shop, while its there i am either going to change to a half bellhousing or get a convertor with nuts attached, previously i had a full bellhousing with a hole cut in the bottom to do the nuts up, then you have to rotate the fly wheel again to torque the bolts before, i have no access to the front crank bolt without pulling out all the fans, radiator & crap.

options are go to a half bellhousing, get a convertor with attached nuts and use standard high tensile bolts.
or
get a half bellhousing and keep the ARP torque convertor bolts and nuts.

its a supercharged six.
i guess what i need to know is do half housings brake easy or do torque convertor bolts shear off easy when you have extra torque and power.

Hello people,
i am on the look out for a working 186
i have a hr ute with a 202 with a stage 3 head as well as other things done to it
and now its time to give the old girl a bit of a freshen up, i have a 186a block that i am going to use to replace the 202 with, but at the moment i am looking for a 186 to use as parts doner, I dont want to spend much but will pay whats fair for a complete motor, SO if any one in adelaide want's to part with a 186 or a HP get back to me

In the Adelaide Hills, now that the trim and whitewalls are done!

gday all im looking at getting another car to use as a daily so i can pull the prem off the road for a tidy up. will consider almost anything but must be in vic (central vic preffered) must have rego and must be in reasonable condition. wanting to pay up to 2 grand for a suitable car, would prefer a ute and manual but anything pre wb would be great. let me know what youve got as im looking for a quick purchase.
cheers

Hi
Can anybody help I have purchased a HR sedan and would like to know what numbers on the body tag stand for.
BODY HR235-23333-S
Trim 510-E66
Paint 585-9562
Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a GOOD 186 for sale?
One I can trust? I've just put a very average 161 in my HR, and if I go to the trouble of another swap, I'd like it to be for a decent motor.
I know 186's are a dime a dozen, I've got 2 here that I can put in, but I'm not too certain of their condition. Although I know one's "OK", if I can find something better, it'd be good. Anyone have something special out there..?
In and around the Mornington Peninsula would be great....

Thanks.........Tim.

Hi All just wondering if any one can tell me how I find out about swap meets in Victoria

Cheers

The all AUSSIE day at Waroona is soon approaching for the masses in the West. APRIL the 11th. Unfortunatly Mr Stokes, from Geelong, is unavailable to mark out the lines at the oval. SO Whos gunna have a go and turn up and whos gunna be a big girly girl an say its too hot ,its the Easter weekend and its too far to go...

PS. Hey emu, my Mrs came home the other day with a photo of the child that we have been sponsering in Africa for awhile. The handbrake said that this poor little bugger was always gunna be under the pump from day one because of the way he looked. But geez Emu had we known ( Check out the Photo just posted ) we would have sponsered you instead...

hi i was just wondering if the hr utes came out with a full chassis and what models did come out with a full chassis.

thanks

Just found this on Ebay thought someone might be interested.

Hi T. I'm changing motors at the moment, thought you'd might like this for the 'paedia...
I've got a close up of the linkages if you want it...

....Tim.

I have an issue that when under brakes my HRs steering wheel is shuddering left to right, the car also seems to be pulling towards one side. My thought is that it likely needs to have the rotors machined. Before sending it to a brake place though I wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts. I don't think it's wheel alignment because the car isnt showing any other symptoms or problems until it is under brakes. It's got fairly new brake pads which hopefully I ran in properly...

I have a set of very brittle and warped arm rests for my HR. (Subject of a poor ebay purchase)

I guess there is no saving them and as buying a good set would be next to impossible are there any other options except for buying Hk or HQ reproduction ones which won't look right?

Hi all looking for some good Hr guards if any one has any

cheers

Howdy guys, I'm selling a holden six long bolt 3.08 diff centre, I'm asking 300 ono for it. It is in a HR diff housing, but will seperate, or want $350 ono for the lot, the brakes are good on it.

The diff does not howl or grind or clunk, but its old and has done a few mile, so its not super quiet, but niether will it send you deaf. It is located 30 minutes the other side of Geelong, heading towards Colac

So if my armrests are brittle warped and generally look crap, what if anything can be done?

I note you can buy HK and HQ style armrests, but would much rather orignial if I can achieve it.

hi all just joined the site as iv been chasing some original hr prem buckets for ages and cant seem to find any!!!

if anyone has any for sale and live in Victoria that would be great!

also i have some dead straight front guards,grill, front bumper and bonnet to suit hd that im willing to trade for hr parts or sell!

OK, no bites as to lowline canopies for sale....any chance folks might have pics of early Holden utes with lowlines? Google is deadset bloody useless, I typed in lowline canopy and a picture of Sean Penn came up!?

Looking forward to being swamped with lowline canopy pics!!! Matt

Howdy guys, I need to know the name of those threaded clips that "clip" onto the subframe and alows the bolt to tighten up and hold a mud gaurd down :/ Any what are these called, and who stocks them, I need 3mm screw size. If this makes no sense, then I cant help that. LOL

Hello,
i am looking for a bell housing to suit HR,
its the sort that you bolt the clutch slave cyclinder
i live in SA so the closer to home the better
hope some one out there can help put an old holden back on the road
also looking for a bonnet to go on the HR

HI All,
How can i stop body roll in an EH i have just had the diff shortened so the tyres fit up in the guard, So when i'm traveling in a straight line there is no scrubing.
The body touches the outside of the tyres when i travel around a sweeping bend.

Cheers Shane

Hi all...
Wound down the front window on the HR this morning and the lift channel seperated from the glass, refitted it and it just comes off again. I dare say that Im not the only one this has happened to and Ive looked thru Holdenpaedia with no luck. What is the best way to keep the sucker on there?? Just got the car back on the road after a gearbox rebuild and everything seems to be sticking up from the weather. (I Have put some graphite on the baily channels to help it along...) Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Kev.

Does anyone have a clutch pulley off a toyota sc14 supercharger they are willing to part with?
thanks

Hi, i bought some sill trim/moulds [ not sure what to call them ]
for my HQ ute and they are to short by a few inches.

Are they ment to be short a few inches or
run from wheel arch to wheel arch or end
short at one end ?

adding a pic so you have a idea of what im talking about.

Hey DOH MAN just reading your thread regarding your gripe about "into the void" have ears willing to listen.

Hi all,

I have too many projects and not enough space so I am looking to either part trade (cash either way) or full trade BOTH of the following cars on a pre 78 Holden, Ford, Valiant or American that doesn't require too much work.

For info - I bought a Whiteline rear swaybar to fit in my HD panelvan. Fitted it up but it didn't hang/sit right. Went back to the supplier and we figured out after contacting whiteline that I had been sold the sedan/wagon bar.

The sedan/wagon swaybars point forward and the ends are secured under the floorpan (under the rear seat) by brackets with 3 holes each side.

The van/ute bars point rearward and the ends are attached to the upper face of the leaf spring.

Just passing this on to save anyone drilling six holes in their floorpan that they wouldn't have needed (like I did)

Heaps improved ride with it fitted btw.
