A short wish list

[the ski man]

hi all...

i know that these pop up on ebay from time to time but before I start ringing around wreckers to see if i can find these i thought i'd chuck a post up and see what happens. nothing urgent but just the final few bits i need to gather to finish off the van

the very short list of things im seeking:
- LX or UC Torana Hatch front seats or frames
- sandman fuel filler cap (not the generic lockable chrome one)
- rear sway bar for HZ RTS van

please let me know if you are able to assist in my search.

Cheers,
Ski

Is the rear sway bar the same as a sedan, they eye ball pretty close but ive never measured them. if they are i have a few sedan ones. or you could go a beefed up aftermarket one. My HJ has a KMAC kit fitted the sway bar is a bit thicker than the original hz ones. 4 leaf spring packs make them handle alot better to.

I believe the rear HZ sway bar is around the same thickness as the the car one but because the arms go towards the rear the crank to go around the diff is the opposite shape from rodney

According to the HZ parts catalogue there are four different rear stabilizer bars.

6cyl Sedan and Wagon
8cyl Sedan and Wagon
6cyl Panelvan, Ute, Cab Chassis
8cyl Panelvan, Ute, Cab Chassis

At a guess the 6 and 8cyl differences are probably due to differing shapes to fit Banjo and Salisbury diffs. Oz?????

[stickthis]

smaller in diameter also?

All 1-tonners are Salisbury so Banjo V Salisbury won't be the difference. It'll probably just be a thicker bar. WB should be the same as HZ too.

From memory lockable chrome fuel filler caps are not standard. There is nothing special about standard Sandman ones, they should all be the same.

I don't know if you are still looking for K-MAC sway bars for your van?
I have a pair of mint condition NOS that have been sitting in my bedroom cupboard since 1984 and still as new.
I bought a brand new 1976 yellow HX sandman from Hillsdons Holden in Parramatta back then and fitted it with a K-MAC rear sway bar. A few years later my dad bought a new 1979 HZ SLE Statesman which he left me before he died.
I bought these to fit it then but they were never use as I sold the car.
