I am interested to find out for the HQ range of cars where the parts for these cars were made.
As in panels, trim, engines,gearboxs,diffs etc.
Were they all made at the separate plants or were some parts made at specific places and then sent out to all the rest from there.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that all the engines were cast at the one plant is this correct.
Thanks for your help Paul.

Hi hq ss
I will attempt to answer this, as there were many variations in supply.
All engines (except the imported 350 V8) were cast & assembled at Fishermans bend.
AFAIK, all gearboxes (M15/M20/M21/M22/M40) and diffs in the HQ era were made in th |

The panels would come from the one plant, final assembly of these would be at each plant, ie outer and inner guards would be shiped seperately then welded together at the vehicle assembly plant. This reduces size in shipping.
Yes trim was as Terry said

Ashlors continued to do work right up into the 90s, with such items as the VC SL/E wagon trim, VL Calais wagon trim, a lot of Brock stuff, as well as early HSV trims in the VN/VP era.

AFAIK chassis numbers are consecutive for a plant and a model and an ADR update. ie Sydney starts at AHQ00001S and when there is an ADR revision it went to BHQ00001S.
The BODY plate is fitted early as evidenced by it being painted on some cars (plant s |

The chassis numbers are just coincedence, each plant numerbed sequencially and that is why each ends in a letter. Sydney and Melbourne ran out of numbers and reset to 00001, but Adelade and Brisbane did not.
The engien numbers however were simply seque

Engines are manufactured as required, they arrive at the plant every day, they would make say 200 cars a day so stock pileing 50 engines, V8 and 6 cylinder would be no use. There is a masive planning process before a car goes down the line, so they know s

That makes sense Warren, as that is basically what happened with XU-1 ie the BODY plate says M20 but the box is a different ratio set to M20 but as the box is part of an option package on a standard GTR there is no change to the records. This may also exp |

Actually Byron late LC and all LJ XU1s are fitted with an M20 gearbox.
The "official" wording is, its an M20 with new ratio set, but Holden is very specific in the workshop manual supplement, it is NOT an M21. This is just the code given by people late
