All

Just pulling apart an LH SLR. It has L34 flares, but just noticed that whilst the rear doors look like original "flared" doors as they have the captive nuts in the skin, the doors have intrusion bars. Does this mean they are A9X doors?

Also, was a 3.08:1 diff optional on an LH SLR5000 or were they all 2.78:1?

Not with factory flares.

Does anyone know how to pick the date codes on Holden doors? The codes are different to normal date codes. These end in G7 and H7 which I assume means July and August 1977, so could well be A9X doors.

Its an LH so it cant be an A9X. And it has centre console mounts so it cant be an L34.

Im sure the rear doors are factory as they have the captive nuts in them. Whether the flares are factory or not doesnt matter too much. If they are factory flares they are L34 width, not A9X.

Ill see if I can get a picture. Ill pull a flare off and look. I think they are welded to the skin but are just a round piece of metal with a thread in them - basically a rounded off nut. The date codes on these doors is on the inner ie frame, just next t

yeah, they sound like they're original, maybe the previous owner used it for motorsport?
