My hose is in good nick, but I was hoping to replace it anyways just so its new. Perhaps when I get it off the car I could send it to you to inspect? Mainly after this one:

Mainly after this one:

Go to Repco and ask to look at an early VHish Commodore 6cyl heater hose. Take your sample. You might be able to cut the Commodore one down.

May I ask why it seems like a lot of your bits are to suit LX?

That's because it's what I know better than other models....

I am happy to look at other items but LX's are what I know and there is an abundant amount of parts that still require making.

Fortunately some of the parts cross into other models.

Hope that answers your question Hanra.

Mick,
FYI your web site has a few problems;
I can't add more than one item to my cart, and when signing up to your newsletter I get a screen that responds that my address, my suburb, my state and my post code; "is not a valid e-mail address" - against each field...
Also, I can't find a black pinchweld kit for a hatchback - only in chamois it seems?
Otherwise it looks great - congratulations.
Cheers, TB

Hi Craig

thanks for the feedback. I will pass on your comments to my web site guy. Can you tell me what item you tried with more than qty one?

The black pinchweld kit for the Hatch was in the "Interior" Section and I have just added it to the "Doors" section.

cheers

Mick,

From memory I added the tag rivets to 'my cart' with the 'buy now' tab, and then clicked the 'continue shopping' tab where I looked at the 'Glass' section and this is where the problem arose yesterday and does so again today.
I click on the hatchback rear quarter window kit 'buy now' tab but nothing happens.
Today I worked out that if I click on the 'More Info' tab then I can add it to my cart on the subsequent pages.

It would be great to be able to save your cart for subsequent visits.

Thanks for putting the black pichweld kit into the door section - found it easy-peasy just now.
FYI I'll be a tad pedantic and let you know the speil for the pichweld kits has a typo; they refer to "pincweld".

Also I look forward to you getting that bug fixed so I can subscribe to your site's newsletter.

Finally, and merely FYI: I got a set of the new Hotwires through Neal Wheels as you suggested - I am very happy with them but I have to say that for the sort of coin being asked there could be some more effort spent on their presentation; The black paint has dags at the edges, they don't come with the black stickers affixed to the centres which as it turns out also need a bit of instruction to apply properly, the wheels are covered in water spots and the packaging is pretty ordinary - using all manner of other brand boxes in varying sizes - some with net covers fitted over the wheel faces & some without - with the accessories thrown into a box loose and in my case causing damage to a decal. Also I wasn't asked what centre cap I wanted (Aunger but got Holden) but having said that, Wal did go to considerable lengths to see if they would fit over my UPC brakes and even came to a very good arrangement to send me a wheel to test fit that I could be refunded for if it didn't. I'm not all that peeved, but again I just think some more effort should undertaken in relation to their price - I shouldn't need to be fixing up those wheels but rather they should be 'plug'n'play IMO. I see they aren't on your web-site; is this because they aren't being made anymore?

All the best, TB

Thanks Craig,

With the 'buy it now' problem, I went throught everything and found this to be a problem with about 15 items so we are fixing it.

The cart issue I have brought it up with the the web site guy to see what we can do...

Pinchweld typos have been fixed..

Just FYI, our next newsletter will happen in around March. After we recieve the new items and know pricing.

Now, with regards to Neale Wheels and your hotwires, have you spoken to Wally or Mike about your concerns? It's fair to say that if you are not happy, with anything, they do need to be told so that they can fix it for the future. If the centre caps are not what you wanted, then I am sure that they would be happy to exchange them for the Aunger ones.

I haven't put them on my site as I simply haven't had time. I still have about 20 odd items that I need to load on (Decals, stickers, etc), thats why their wheels aren't on. It's funny that most have gone direct to Neale Wheels after they have spoken to me about the rims. Not much I can do about that though.

As you siad, they aren't making anymore and I think that they only have aroung 25 sets available. Needless to say, these 15" Hotwires are going to be a very rare rim indeed.

cheers
Mick
