Hi Grant,

A 10/72 Torana will have the white indicators with the parking lights incorporated. The first Brisbane built LJ to have the amber indicators and parking lights in the headlights was an 82211 model with PSN H260946 completed on 4/12/1972.

LJ 6 bangers with 10A on the compliance plate use the standard type splash guard and the two small inner front bumper bar brackets .

Cars with 10B on the compliance plate use the reinforced splash guard and have two reinforced inner front bumper bar brackets .

10B car identifiers

This is one of the reinforcing arms on the splash tray which fit into a corresponding cut out in the panel


Reinforced inner bumper bar brackets




Left and right inner bumper bar brackets in situ

It is inevitable that some 10A cars have the reinforced splash tray and brackets that were fitted after the car was crashed because they could not source the earlier parts.

Hi Bruce,

The radiator panel changed in 1973.

Agent ,

I am not sure if you know how to decipher the date codes so I will list them .

A-Jan
B-Feb
C-Mar
D-Apr
E-May
F-Jun
G-Jul
H-Aug
J-Sep , 'I' was not used .
K-October
L-Nov
M-Dec .


As a general rule of thumb , the gearbox code for a 10/72 car , ie K2 would be _ _ J2 .

This is not set in stone of course and there are examples where the part date code can be as close as two weeks prior to the completion date of the car .

Therefore if your car has a latish K2 completion date then the date code could be _ _ K2 .

I cannot find the gear box no's apart from " holden 8 " on one side and there is other no's on the cover for the other side ?

There is no raised section near the sump plug with anything stamped on it.

Ps I'm not that concerned with the numbering, i just cannot find apart from what is stated above

seems strange that the casting no's would be on the side plate that can be interchanged ? between boxes ?

grant

it's a m20 for sure

G/day Grant

The g/box casing should have a raised not stamped cast date on it, on the same side as the HOLDEN 8. The numbers on the selector side plate only pertain to that part not the box casing.

There should be a serial number stamped into the end of the gearbox casing where the extension housing bolts on. This number will start with a 'T'.

Can someone inform me as to the colour and types of bolt finished, eg black steel, zinc etc

brake calipers bolts
chassis bolts
other - general brake bolts, Idler arms cover plates
steering rack bolts
K frame bolts
thermostate housing bolts ( and was the thermostat painted red or standard cast colour )

brake calipers bolts - BLACK
chassis bolts - ZINC
other - general brake bolts - MIXTURE OF BLACK & ZINC? (could you be more specific?)
Idler arms cover plates ???????
steering rack bolts - ZINC
K frame bolts - ZINC
thermostate housing bolts - ZINC
and was the thermostat painted red or standard cast colour - PAINTED

If I've got any of these wrong I'm sure someone will let us know.

Cheers
Dave
