i have an lx one

[dattoman]

Funnily enough I'm in the process of going auto to manual on an LH

And I bought the Rares shifter boot assy to suit... haven't tried it yet though

[BIG KEV]

Datto check the pattern and the colour of the paint on the parts you got from Rare Spares I returned mine a few weeks ago as I noticed they don't match by colour

check them and you will see what I mean  

[dattoman]

Mines black... and I need to paint the chamois console to match anyway

So should be fine

[BIG KEV]

Datto I think you missed what I was getting at .....not the console ..but the two parts with fish scale finish that are located around the shifter and the coin box ....

Check the finish and colour of them .....even Rare Spares agreed with me that its not right

[BIG KEV]

Now I am not sure what finish mine is ment to be .....I have LH with a black dash console is black .....but the two parts that fit into the manual console are they ment  to be silver fish scale or black fish scale and I have some here in the shed that have a laminated piece glued on some smooth some ruff finish

[Swarbs]

Bit of discussion here Kev - mentions the fishscale, photo's have gone though

Kal, is that manual shifter of yours shortened? Looks shorter than a standard one?

Plus do you know what is the brand of shifter knob you have there?

No fishies on mine... woodgrain

New manual boot is black with a fishy finish... not building a concourse resto... so will be fine for me

Can some one verify that a hq/j/x/z center console gear selector section is the same as the torana ones?

I can only see the selection panel under Kingswoods and the full repo console under torana.

Exactly the same for the equivelent year model.

I thought that the console insert sections should match the dash facia.

 

i.e. For - LH SL & SL/R - dark timber, S & SL/R5000 - black 'Caribou' grain.

For LX - S -  black 'Caribou' grain, SL - light timber, SS, SL/R & SL/R5000 - Silver finish.

 

To my knowledge the 'fish scale' finish was unique to HQ.

As you can see by the one Datto is holding in his post it has the fish type scales that I have been talking about and that's all Rare spares sells

so what is the right one / finish for a LH SLR 5000

I have many different ones here all with different finishes

[Dr Terry]

so what is the right one / finish for a LH SLR 5000

as I listed above:-

"i.e. For - LH SL & SL/R - dark timber, S & SL/R5000 - black 'Caribou' grain."

 

It is the black plastic that has a vinyl type 'grain' running thru it.

Is this the fish scale pattern you speak about Dr Terry? Found this fitted to an SLR 5000 console sold recently on AMCS.
