Hi all, iv decided these windows have to be filled. All leads on the inner bracing would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Try Greg at classic ozwreck at Toronto area NSW. He has had them in the past, not sure now. Have heard of others having to get them bent up from scratch

Hi all, trying to figure out the characteristics of the hj dash. Any tips or threads that anyone can point me to would be great. Iv located a nice looking hz dash, it’s yellow needle. All the photos that iv seen in my search are white needle. Thanks in advance.

Yellow needle is HZ WB only

White needle, 5 digits on the odometer in the early ones then changed to 6. The big difference between HJ and HX white needle dash’s is the high berm light. It’s in the speedo on HX but in the idiot lights between the speedo and tachometer on HJ.

White needle dash doesn’t have a trip meter either.

Thanks all!

Also did all hj have the silver finish on the dash or was the finish/colour an option?

Cheers

HJ had silver fascia. I think you could get black fascia as well, somewhere before HZ, not real sure. The 2 idiot lights above the steering column, one is hi-beam & other handbrake light. HX -on had two red idiot lights for hand brake & brake fail. Early HJ Speedos were only 5 digits on odometer, I think that changed to 6 during HJ. Wiring harness for HJ is different cos of idiot lights. Little symbols in gauges, (fuel, temp etc) are different plus the segment lines in Speedo & tacho. A lot of HJ facias have the centre vent hole blocked, unless a/con.
I'm sure there would be more, that's all I can think of
