After cracking two cast iron exhaust manifolds, I'm considering going down the extractor path. Obviously standard Holden 6 extractors will fit the engine, but do they have a suitable exit angle and location for bolting into a CF? Any experiences or wisdom will be much appreciated!

Thanks for the tip - yes, I've had the ends not quite reach once before, but this time it was a definite break. For some reason I was certain the manual 3-speed cable was a different length, but just pulled one out of my spare Bedford (manual) and it fitted perfectly. I hope the failure wasn't caused by a faulty outer, or I'll be in the market for a replacement again soon! Plenty of grease applied. Cheers!

Mine suddenly gave up the ghost on the weekend. Any leads?

Cheers,

Neil.

The time has finally come for the custom sheepskin covers that were fitted to the original front seats in Dolph, our much-loved camper, to be retired. These were fitted by the original owners who obviously had them custom made many years ago. Dolph can be seen at www.grouseguitars.com/dolph

The original seats are still almost pristine underneath, but for the long trips we do we don't think vinyl will provide the comfort the sheepskins have provided in hot and cold conditions.

Does anyone know where suitable covers for the very small original front seats on a CF can be purchased?

I almost went down the Supra gearbox path myself, but then realised I couldn't live with the rear-set gearshift position, cutting a hole in the floor, and a couple of other factors. If ever there's a way to have an effective linkage under-floor that can use the original shifer position I might consider it again!
