just a couple of of my build, the booster is australian cortins witha xb falcn m/c....should be the same m/c as 71odd mustang

Is your negative reversed?
It looks to be on the wrong bloody side of the car.
(Vain attempt at humor)
Looks pretty nice!

Care for three more valve covers cheap?

its running now so onto the paint...gonna post about the aluminium sill panels, they are unavailable in aust....i know there are 2 door ones in usa....but are there 4 door ones anywheree as mine are a bit average

Compact

looks great! Is that export brace a factory piece or did you make it? any info? Also can you post a picture of the Left front fender apron where the battery is.

Were the Austrailian Fairlanes converted to RH drive from the factory? I know that on Canadian built cars, the door data plate specifies whether its a LH or RH drive car.

Wow your car looks great.. Keep up the good work..

Hi compact,
Ive got a spare set, are yours missing?
you wouldnt have a spare fuel tank you can swap?
ive got vitually a whole car for parts.
The braces (Got one to swap for 2 tudor doors ) are standard in aus/export, the fairlanes were supplied in ckd (complete knocked down)from canada and (mine)assembled in homebush sydney
also we didnt get the 64 dash they reused a 63 in 1964.
no manual option was available and i think that only fairlane 500s
came out.

Australian production figures:

1962 - 1632
1963 - 1771
1964 - 1344

ps-if you need any info/parts go to www.therubberconnection.com.au
pps did you get my pm?

Clint

gidday clint ...goood to see anothe r aussie on here..

re the fuel tank....i dont have one atm but my car is destined for a gas conversion to straight gas......imm thinking about putting one tank behind the seat and another where the fuel tank is.

but im sorry i wont know for a few monmths wether im going to use it or not.

i also have a spare car , but most parts i use are either nos or that close to it, i have 3 sets of sc uff plates but they are not good enuf to use....

clint ..just a question there was a guy i spoke too in queensland once on the phone tha had some trouble with headwork done by someone....sent them 260 heads and got back 302 heads...was that you?
cancel tyhat just seen you are in newcastle

Hi John,
just sent a request to a local shipping company hope they get back soon,
parts are yours just pay for shipping.
looks like the inner guards are mirrored.(camera broken)
pretty sure that they were sent rhd
interestingly my dad and I both had 64s a while back his was imported from the states but made rhd and was driven for 2 or so years before being brought out here had the original sales receipt and all,
but it was all the same as my aussie 64 except for a heater and power steer.
Complete with 63 dash?
Will post when I get the shipping quote.

Clint

Fair67....thanks for your reply

JohnP....hey mate are you wanting the brace for that gorgeous thuinderbolt......they are a very good brace ....when you put them on the holes wont line up and you will need to just put the bolts on one side then pull like blazes to take up the extra 1/8inch or ,more to get the other side to go on.....yep i would say they would be as strong as anything i have seen

as for the battery dpartment, they usually rust under the battery and mine had sufferd the same fate....we just welded a flat piece in there...the bottom piece usually has a couple of swage marks i there which the battery tray allignes to...but its not that important...heres a shot befor i put the battery tray in.

if clint cant help with the brace or anything just holler



cheers darren

I think I know what John is doing, and it's a good idea if I'm right.

He's wanting the driver's side battery tray so he can run the hoses from the inner headlights to the intake and make it look cleaner.
