I would wrap it in gold cellaphane, it will look grouse and make a cool wereing noise when its spinning round.

Hello Steve,

Woodsman Green (a Holden exterior colour) would be a good one to use on the tailshaft. I have used this before with excellent results.

You should check the diameter of your tail shaft prior to buying the paint as the 2.75" diameter dark green shaft was replaced by the 3" violet shaft around the end of HG Monaro production. The last HG 308 4-speed cars had the violet shaft fitted on the assembly line and this shaft was the item carried as a replacement part from mid-71.

Hope this is of use.

Hello hazzard county,

The last of the GTS 327s had this tail shaft from the factory. There is an HK Field Modification bulletin outlining this and it calls for all GTS 327s to be retro-fitted with the violet shaft in place of the dark green item. Only the 81837 model was the subject of this change at the time. Just how many cars were fitted with it is a big question even though every owner was sent a letter from Holden detailing the free change-over next time they called into their dealer.

Hope this is of use.

Hello hazzard county,

Yes, the green items were to be replaced with a violet one in HK81837 only. 307 powered cars were not included.

The colour we use for the violet shaft is a VHT product - Lively Lavender. Just the regular engine paint is fine, you dont need the high-temp.

Hope this is of use.

Hi,

I had trouble posting on the thread in the link below, something about proxy server?

http://74.125.155.132/se...cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au

This is what I wanted to post,

Hi, Sorry to bring up an old thread but I was searching for the correct colour for a HG GTS 350 powerglide tailshaft, I see on this thread it mentions Violet and Orange? I am doing a resto and after alot of reading I found that the original tailshaft colour is dark green and the last of the HG came out with Violet and from 71 onwards all V8s were updated or replaced with the Violet shaft?

I do not have an original shaft but have modified a 1 tonner shaft that was painted orange and wondered if this orange colour that has been talked about was basically the 1 tonner tailshaft/uni diameter?

Have used a 1 tonner yoke on diff and just about to paint the new modded 1 tonner shaft for my HG, but since reading this old post and seeing "Orange" just made me wonder.

Cheers
