Just a quick update with a few things I've done lately.
Last weekend I picked up a set of VE SS 18's off of a mate. They were already machined for earlier Commodores, so they went straight on.
Needed two tyres for the front, as the VE spec tyres were mm's aways from the struts.
Still using the VE tyres on the back, Left hand just needed some panel beating in the wheel arch to stop it rubbing when going over bumps.
Got my alloy fuel rails fitted up during the week.
All went smoothly, everything bolted straight on, and NO LEAKS! had some issues with leaking last time I put them on, some of the anodising off the fittings had got into the weld and created a pinhole leak.
Great to get rid of the lines over the blower, makes it a hell of a lot tidier.
Must say thanks to VRTIDY and Zapp for the idea and great instructions on how to make and fit them, and also the supply of the laser cut brackets.
Latest thing was fitting a VY indicator/cruise control stalk in place of the orginal.
Picked up a switch at the wreckers today, and wired it up. Had a second hand full body harness at work from a VY, so pinched the plugs off that. Came up good. Got high beam flash again now, been meaning to buy a new switch for awhile now.
The later model switches work so much more smoothly than the orginals. They've also got the twisty end for the cruise control instead of the buttons.
(excuse the hole in the dash, waiting on a fog light switch bezel)
Next thing is to get the exhaust done (still waiting!), and the shocks and springs fitted.
Also have a new VS SS front bar coming, saves having to cut out the holes for the foglights, which I know I will stuff up and they'll never be straight.
Well thats all for now,
Cheers,
Brendan
