    Sandman production build sheet

    Ok, there a a lot of members on here now with Sandmans and having removed the carpet from all the Sandmans I owned back in the 80's while rust proofing them I have never found a production build sheet.

    Is there anyone out there who has found one while restoring their Sandman???

    i was reading a post and ozbox mentioned that he has found production broadcast sheets in different places in HQ's... I was going to call him tomorrow and ask him all the different hidey holes that he has found them.... my car has never had the carpet out of it and all i have done is lifted the back seat but no build sheet..

    so greg.... or anyone else for that matter... where are most build sheets found in early melbourne built HQ's....

    cheers Al

    I've been told up under the dash, under the floor coverings, tucked up in the springs of the front or rear seat and in the springs of the rear seat back rest......

    I would really like to get hold of an original broadcast sheet... I ideally a Sandman one but would be very happy with a good clear one from any HQ,HJ,HX HZ.

    They are not always there. Just a lottery I guess. I've been meaning to check my Premier out, but the scuff plates looklike they've never been undone so not sure that I should!

    Hi, I have a most virginal Jasmin yellow HZ sansman van and found the HOLDEN PRODUCTION BROADCAST on the drivers front floor pan under the underfelt, it is his birth certificate! An amazing document, quite hard to decypher some of the codes. It was like i had just found Tutin Karmins tumb when I found it !
