    Cool Wanted RTS badge & 5Lt badge for HZ Sandman & stickers

    G'day, my HZ sandman is half way through a bare metal respray & its time to get the badges & stickers organised.
    I am chasing a RTS & 5Lt badges for the tail gate for my HZ ? Can anyone point me in a direction ? Also I need a light blue/ mid blue/ Dark blue HZ sticker kit to suit my Atlantis blue.

    My contact details are 0414-391316 or gayri@cba.com.au
    Cheers Richard

    Gday Richard. Well you have the right place.

    I can help you with the DX5 HZ kit (3 blues)

    Its the next combo we do plan to do. We have just finished the white, mid blue, dark blue kit. Issue is we do not plan to have them done until early April.

    Sad thing is there is a few guys wanting that same kit. Some of them have been on my list for 2 years. So we are as keen to get them done as they are!

    If your happy to wait than I will put your name on a kit when they are done. If you want give me a buzz at some stage if you want to discuss. 0427110502. Also for your own info take the time to read the sections I have here on this forum about types of stickers you can get as this will help you make the best decision for your Sandman.

    Cheers
    Jason

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for the quick reply, the HZ is a 11/1977 build registered in 02/1978 ?
    Which is recommended by Holden as the stickers were removed from the van when it was 6 mths old & I bought it off the original owner who said it had the light blue/mid blue/dark blue combo & thats what I was going off.
    Cheers Richard

    Ok no worries Richard. From the info I have for a Pre 79 model in your paint it would have had the DY4. White, Mid Blue, Dark Blue.

    From the info I have it wasnt until the 79 model that they got the 3 blue combo.

    Does the original owner have any pics?

    hey Richard, nice name

    the engine capacity badge was not put on the tailgate of hx/z sandmans as the rear decal goes over where the badge normally sits.

    as for the RTS badge, just go to a wrecker, mine had a lunchbox container full and i dug out a NOS one in its little baggie at the bottom and wasnt charged for it.

    also, mines an 11-77 build - which plant did yours roll out of?

    Thanks for the info, the tail gate has the holes for the RTS badge & the original owner said that from new it had a 5lt badge on the lower opposite side of the tailgate to the RTS badge ?
    Did the factory 308 HZ's have a 5lt badge on the lower tail gate ?

    Standard factory HZ XU3 (and hence XX7) had the badge deleted, but it was the only item on the "delete part" of the Sandman package that you could elect to "un-delete".
    I suppose this was for those who chose option DL7.
    See attached extract from the special packages section of the HZ ordering procedure.

    HZ RTS badges should be easy to find. Look also on the front guards of HZ and WB HOLDEN luxury level vehicles. Rare Spares do a repro too from memory.

    Interesting as the van which I sent you the tags for yesterday, too had the holes on the rear tailgate for a 5litre badge, and I doubt it was not the original lower tailgate, it was also a 308 engine...

    Yes, another car where the orderer has chose to "un-delete" the 5.0L badge. I know I'd have wanted it, but I would have always ordered DL7 (no stripes) on HX/HZ.
