As far as I know there is no such thing as BHX on HX commercials. I have AHX until 8/77 from all assembly plants.

HJ is easy to pick over HX even if the warning lights are missing. HJ had the infill panel over the left vent in Sandman and for GTS the infill panel was cut out with a saw for the vent to be fitted. In HX the dash was factory molded without the infill panel and also had an infill for the wiper switch hole for Sandman, on GTS they use the hole for the wiper dwell. This change and the warning light change would be the reason for the different parts numbers for HJ and HX GTS dashes.
If you look at the silver dash on the Ebay HJ you can see the infill panel still in place, although someone has drilled a hole in it to fit a aftermarket gauge.
Out of interest, I found an immaculate and original fully loaded HJ Premier the other day. It is a 1974 build HJ, and as such has a silver type 4 dash and it looks wierd with the woodgrain glovebox and centre console. Obviously early on there was only the one dash as youd think if there was going to be any different dash itd be in the Premier and LS to remove this woodgrain and silver combo (which obviously was fixed later). This reflects the early catalogue info too. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Tailgate decal looks fine Adam, what do you think is wrong with it?
You need to shorten those urls mate.

Correct Adam. It has some errors.
At a guess Im guessing its one of the vinyl cut ones on the market.
Not the screen printed ones.
My kits as where the sandman_decals(ebay) blokes kits (when he had them) when matched from NOS samples.
The issue with it is the spacings of between each of the boxes.
There is the centre black box. Then the nothing box where the paint shows.
Then the thicker of the two black boxes. The spacing between the solid centre
black box and the thicker of the two black outline box is not correct.
It should be about half that spacing.
Cheers

Id be surprised if it isnt. It could be an XU4 but most likely XX7. Check for headlining rear strip and interior light switches in door jam and/or wiring for them.

Sure does. Another little bit of info that has only just crept out of the woodwork, with 3 x 6cyl HJ and HX XX7s in the past 2 weeks. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Yeah, I already had it recorded. The BODY number should be 319747 though. Another one of those wierd Acacia Ridge "Sandmans" without XX7. Ive only recorded one of them that cannot be a Sandman (ie metallic paint without XX7) and it was a 3 seater. Rest are all very much Sandman-like. There are 10 of them recorded. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |
