Hi guys, A member of another forum is chasing some info on a HR, he is looking for build date if possible. Here is a cut/paste of what he has, what can you tell me/him about it? If you need any other info, yell out and ill pass it on. Thanks!

OK, I'll post what I have.
ID plate has:
HR 235MR - 11977M (now I know 235 is premier and M is manual and I think 11977 is the number of HR's built in Melbourne at the time)
Body number stamped into the firewall is HR12704M and the mini tag is M079789.
Info from the steering box (10H6), makes it look like a Aug '66 model...nothing else is std to try and date (brake masters are new, engine is out of a HK as it's a 186P)

HR12704M is the chassis number (not the body number) & would indicate that this car was the 12,704th HR out of Melbourne.
The steering box date of 10/8/66 would seem about right for that chassis number.
This car was probably built around the intro of the safety upgrade on 1/9/66. Part of the upgrade was factory-fitted seatbelts for the 2 front passengers. Does it have the captive weld-nuts in the B-pillar ?

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Awesome, cheers for that. It does have what looks like bolts going through the B pillar for the seat belts so it sounds about right.
reply from old mate on the seatbelt deal.

If he wants to check out a few other date coded things on the car get him to have a look here. http://s872.photobucket....ate%20coding/?start=all
There are pictures showing HR and onwards date coded parts and where to find them on the part. Cheers Paul.
