Hi Bro NZ.
Post the numbers of your body plate & the VIN plate (the VIN plate is the skinny one).

Ben Stewart asked me about JL2 on a HQ Sandman production broadcast sheet the other day. It would be good to know what it is. |

Hi Guys.
Yes, Byron is correct, the engine prefix is QL, often misread as OL.
The JL2 option number refers the power front disc brake option, although i've never seen this stamped on a body plate before.
Is this vehicle an NZ assembled car ?

JL2 isn't even mentioned on the 2/74 HQ Sandman production broadcast sheet that I have. The particular van is a factory disc brake example, according to the DSC data under BRAKES and also on the GMH build records. |

Dr T yes i believe it could be as the plate does have GMH NZ printed on it and the plate number. Once again like a Kingswood S/W i enquired about, it also doesn't have a trim and body plate attached.

Bro NZ
The VIN number of 8M69LCJ35029Q you quoted is missing a digit.
Apparantly NZ Holdens always have the mechanical option on a plate, that is why JL2 is there. A lot of NZ HQ-HZ GTS's had G80 (LSD) listed. |

Hi Bro NZ.
When you say you have a Kingswood dash in a Belmont, you mean different instruments, is that correct ?
In Australian HQs, the Belmonts & Kingswoods use the same instruments. Do the NZ Kingswoods get the GTS type set-up or the one with the |

Where does the 2 go? You misunderstood on the G80 - I meant it appeared on GTS's. Yours is not an original LSD fitment so it won't have G80. |

If your speedo is out it can be due to the profile of your tyres as well. I have low profile tyres and 52mph is acutally 62 mph.
