Dont order stuff through PG man, your just setting yourself up for problems.
Took over 3 months last time I ordered something from there.

Unless i can find something similar for a ba thats still available i'd be just filling my original mounts with some kind of rtv rubber or such. You lucky buggers!

Ive owned a Holden before, an old 1980 TE Gemini on p plates at the time, was a good car was 29 years old when i owned it all original paint was faded and few rust spots showing only had 110,000ks on it too, spent quite a bit keeping that thing on the road. A Holden these days isnt like a Holden back in the day. And thanks man plenty more work on the Mazda to come |

My first car was a HJ kingy, second,third,fourth were UC toranas. Loved the 202, eventually got a triple dellorto setup that kicked every local cars ar**! I remember going into repco to order a set of filters for the carbs and ol' mate said 'i thought it was a turbo!?' Had recently blew him away in his VL turbo. He made me pop the bonnet to see for himself!!!
I meant mazda 3 sales have taken over commodore sales! Got a soft spot for old holdens still...sorry for filling your build thread with my memories! |

however, on a LHD car, it is best to lower the crossmember slightly so that the nuts are more accessible
