see alternator bracket mounts in the usual spot the compressor bracket sits above alternator and is bolted to the alternator bracket compressor sits in the curved section of bracket, power steering is obviously on the other side and is easy to work out

(that is a v8 power steering pump bracket) 6 cylinder bracket has a bend in the plate and also has a rod to support pump

Cheers for the advice guys, I haven't been around for ages. Busy with work and other 'life' activities.
I have recently got a column, steering wheel and remaining engine brackets and pulleys. So it's time to un-assemble the remaining parts and sandblast, repaint and re zinc and final reassembly should be well on its way.

Another question though of course!

Us there a gasket or sealant in between the master cylinder and the booster?
Cheers guys

[Taily]

Nope. The master cylinder has it's own fluid seal and the booster has its own vacuum seal.

Cheers Taily!
I have been asking around for someone to plumb the car up and have had limited luck, the best price I could find was about $1000. Today I had the bright idea of purchasing some original lines from a wrecker and will get the brake shop to bend me up some nice new sparkly ones, total cost $250. The cost of the old lines from the wrecker at $100 is rediculous as a usable part but as an original template it's going to save a heap of time!

Advice for anyone resorting a car for the first time, even if you won't be using the original part don't destroy it taking it off because you are excited with your new project. Remove it carefully and put it aside for reference later on.

Great advice!

All those wrecks mook and you don't have a old set.

Well its been a while on this build, so im biting the bullet and sending it to a workshop to get the last few things done and tidied up. and hopefully on the road soon.
what im looking for is some info for the interior colours.

I'm now going with a brown interior as I think this will go nicely with the green.
I have a HQ bench seat that needs re trimming and ill go for some new door cards as well.

What would the colour for the cowl, column and pillars be with a Chestnut or Tan interior?
I'm quite sure a Sandpaper brown roof lining is the way to go and is there a vinyl spray that anyone knows about that would match for the re colouring of the glovebox, dashpad, etc?

I'm thinking of purchasing some acrylic in a pressure pack for the cowl and column.

The van is leaving next week to the workshop. Advice and opinions welcome
cheers guys!

I think this is what you want:

Dulon medium gloss, Chestnut 578-15396

There is also an Antique brown Dulon suede used on instrument pad and windscreen pillars, 563-13146.

You'll have to go to PPG I think to get these.

Found this post of yours HK,
So chestnut for the glove box and antique brown for dash pad pillars and cowl?
