I've had a radiator built with a new core and some bits from my OG radiator and a spare I had. The heater matrix though was just a goner though, which explains why the inside of my heater box has rusty areas. Apparently it's hard to rebuild one. My car doesn't have the AC part inside the...

I have a box here with some seals in it from Famous Four but have had a few other things on the go and got told that my heater matrix/core is beyond repair. Does anyone know the correct heater core to buy for NZ cars with aircon? I have another core on my workbench but am at the stage now where...

I had richer jets fitted when I had twin K&N filters on and it was too much - only went up one jet size too. I reckon you'll be fine with the new induction setup.

I'm at the stage where I just close my eyes and click buy. It's still a cheaper hobby than crack!

If anyone in Australia wants the seal that sits on the firewall, flick me a message. About to order one and a power steering filter from Famous Four (cheers for the heads up @jp928) - may as well order some more and save on postage if anyone else is after one.

All good - I've got the two books, it's more that I have complete RHD 3500S conversion parts that I bought years ago, but have sat in poor storage for about a decade, plus some new parts that I bought and forgot about.

Gents, I've got my heater box almost apart and found Classic Reproductions mentioned which does the red on black Smiths Warning label. Does anyone make the other Smiths label that has the part number on it (white text on a black background - has "Code: FHR4414/09" written on it) Also is there a...

Thanks Bernd - hey Steve, let me sort out everything when I've got all my parts on the bench in front of me.

Cheers gang, yes they are very different parts. I actually have a RHD pedal assembly but it is rusted solid. One pedal will not move. I tried soaking it with penetrating fluid, putting it in a press etc and it wouldn't free itself. Last effort was heating it with a torch but unfortunately the...

Same problem with mine, plus the boot lid liner collapsed and fell apart into about 5 pieces.

^ unfortunately I just realised this about ten minutes ago.

Will a LHD and RHD pedal box be the same? Hadn't even thought of that.

Perfect - that looks exactly like what I'm after. @The Rovering Member - a 4 cylinder one causes issues with things in the engine bay and heat soak apparently. (all going from memory years ago when I first started reading about the swap)

Hi all, I'm after a pedal box from a 3500S. I have all of the lines etc, I just need the complete pedal box assembly. Converting my car from an auto to a manual and its one of the few parts I don't have. Happy to pay freight etc from anywhere to Australia. Thanks

Yes I successfully managed to drill through part of a finger last night while drilling out some rivets. @jp - have the whole engine out and bonnet off so hopefully refitting is pretty straightforward. Has anyone fitted valves or a heater matrix bypass in the coolant lines? Not having hot...
