Great engine bay. Faults? Left side firewall rod bracket (behind booster) should be silver not gold. Common mistake seen I've seen alot. Yellow paint is revealed between black and rubber bonnet lacing. When painting your firewall you should mask through the 10 holes that retain the wiper cowls and paint the black up to there. This had been overlooked on this one. Edited by user Saturday, 13 August 2011 7:27:18 PM(UTC)

Pre production shots (note Canadian air cleaner and decal , no PCV air cleaner hole , and PCV Hose on drivers rocker cover , instead of Proper Air cleaner Hose , this would be just for the photo shoot , looks like a delco alternator also , not a Bosch one )  Edited by user Saturday, 13 August 2011 10:53:03 AM(UTC)

thanks sebring orange for the pics they are awesome is that sticker on the 307 air cleaner for hk models??? well guys i have been informed from a very reliable person they were painted and the reason being because they had no gaskets between head and manifould they didnt have to mask anything up just bolt on the manifoulds and paint the whole thing.... so a big thanks and i hope he puts some input to this discussion

Greetings, That's very interesting as my original Cameo HG Brougham goes against your theories. The cross shaft support is gold and you can see the paint colour under the bonnet lacing rubber just like in this Monaro engine bay. I also have the paint instruction drawings for these cars and they show the paint cut line as the leading edge of the bonnet lacing as you expect. I also know of other original cars and they are all like this. We all know there were variations in production but in the main they were by the book. |

Hmm, that is interesting. I have owned, driven, dismantled dozens of HK HT HG. I have a full time business exclusively dealing with them. I reference and study them daily. I also work part time at a leading muscle car retoration place and I reference & dismantle many HK HT HG variations. I have never removed a drivers side firewall rod bracket that is gold. They have all been silver. I also have never seen the body colour revealed between the black and the bonnet lacing. Possibly a state to state thing? Most vehicles I have ever had access to have been predominantly Adelaide/Melbourne built. I shall investigate further. |

I have some NOS items (with the holden sticker and part number), both drivers side and passengers side. The drivers side rod bracket is silver and the other side (passenger) is gold. MY HK GTS is the same (Sydney Car). Hope this helps.

Greetings, Here's an idea. Maybe the colour of the supports is linked to the type of engine in the car? Like a combination of colours according to what cross shaft is needed to suit which engine. There are two sizes and types of supports to take into account as well. Silver/silver, silver/gold, gold/gold, and gold/silver to suit six cylinder and V8, manual and automatic. HG Broughams have gold/gold and a 308 V8 and Trimatic. Anyone know what other engine/trans have? Parts Recovery may be onto something with his findings and what engines do your nos parts suit tanart? |
