Ever heard of this trick?
Free up a seized distributor by using an arc welder.
Hook up the negative or earth lead to the dizzy and arc the rod onto another part of the motor .....
Never tried it my self but I know someone who has tried it and it worked.

cheers for the tip!! i've got a stripped chassis ready to be blasted and was wondering how to remove those clips with out damaging them....can you buy them incase i break a coupla?

Upload a photo mate, there are many parts and we don't want to give you wrong advice. You might be talking about a console mount.

Hey. They were painted black over a dark tint plastic. Agro now owns those windows because I am going windowless.

So Blocker how are you or should I say your panel beater going to tackle the filling in of the windows?? same way Ian did his Valencia or a different way? Curious as I have to address the same issue though mine are 3/4 length ones not two small ones each side.

my dash has the same sticker and numbers in the plastic as your photo showes and the same huge radio hole. is that radio the original so as i am looking to buy one it is a white needle and that brand ?

**Blocker** · 30-06-2011, 06:34 PM

It is the right one for that model

Have a browse through the forums, and don't be scared to use the search box on the right hand side of the page. You can type in dash or fascia and you will get heaps of info coming back to you to research on :Chin:

Crash pads or dash were made by a 3rd party manufacturer and supplied exlusively to Holden, you will find similar or same stickers on yours as others as well.

Hi, Are you talking about the section following the rear console mount... very strange for two to have the same modification. Would the console sit right even if they hadn't flattened it?

Are these two from the same plant?
