Clutch fluid reservoir sorted. I used an aftermarket VT reservoir and modified it. Now the fluid outlet is now also the mount. It will be a short run from the reservoir to the master cylinder with some brake fluid resistant hose.

I also located the collectors for the extractors. There is so much room with a relatively manual box compared to the 4L60 and even Trimatic. I just need to build the extractors now. Hopefully not too many flange joints to enable them to be removed with everything in place

A bit more work on the steering column A 3" to 2" steam pipe reducer will form the bottom of the column and allow the lower uni joint to be higher and give better alignment of the intermediate shaft to the rack. At the other end I needed to do a heap of machining to get the steering wheel boss which suits the Commodore steering shaft to clear the EH indicator switch. It will need a transition piece machined and pressed to it so it doesn't look out of place and gives a nice transition from the boss to the column.

I also managed to find a clutch slave cylinder that is correct. Every catalogue lists it as being the same as V6. It is different. The 6cyl version is the black one in the pics and the bleeder valve is almost inaccessible.

Finally got a chance to put some wheels under the wagon body and take some measurements. I now need to work out a finished diff width.

A bit more today. Passenger side exhaust pipes started. V Band clamps tacked to collectors. Also made up a mount for a Commodore power steering fluid reservoir. I'll use an aftermarket alloy one.

Radiator sorted. Just need to make the final fan mounts and TIG them on. Water pump mounts added. Heaps of clearance with the wheel on full lock. Fuse/relay panel mounted in stock position. All the switches and underdash parts like the pedal box refitted so the basic dash, engine and front end wiring can be done.

What fans are they? Been looking at a PWR or ADC radiator with their fans and shroud as the FG fan is going to look ugly.

The adaptors allow early non EFI rocker covers to be used on the later EFI heads. It gives the motor an old school look. I will have to move the booster slightly. It's no big deal at this stage as everything is still being mocked up.

Love your radiator!

I've tried to fit an crossflow donor unit into my HK but no room without cutting. So I'm going back to a good old original style, maybe a PWR alloy one rubber mounted.

Wagon progress. Pretty hard to tell it's a wagon at the moment. Hahaha

Sorted out the brake calipers today. Fronts are VT onward HSV upgrade 330mm rotors and upgrade calipers. These ones are CORVETTE versions. Same same. Caliper brackets are off a pair of similar FPV upgrade calipers. These were purchased new years ago and will finally get some use. Rear will be all Ford. Diff is a BA ute variant Borg Warner. A simple bolt on brake upgrade for these diffs is the Territory or BA-BF V8 upgrade rear rotor and caliper. These bolt straight on 328x26mm rear rotors and single piston PBR calipers. These calipers along with the VT booster are the only part in the system that aren't new. Calipers were pulled down, sandblasted, chemically cleaned and checked for wear. They will get painted to match the fronts once I have mocked everything up for the final time.
