"classified add mate with best offer means i can do what the hell i want so go choke on a fat one bro . ." Laney I think this for a person who has just registered is a bit OFF Members of this forum support each other in attempting to restore a car that has a long passion internationally. Generally costing more than they can ever recoup Abuse is considered a low form of communication and the sooner you sell your parts and get off this forum with this approach the quality of reading posts will be enhanced. Cheers Phil

The australian compliance plate identified the requirements that had to be met for sale in this country ie 4A-seat belts 10B -steering columns all those numbers had to be fulfilled for a vechicle to be sold in australia at the point of sale for vechicle standards (any vechicle) All those numbers can be found on the net ,so try Australian Design Rules 10B That is why the compliance plate is required for registartion as it complied with the rules of the day. Aegean you asked about the seat belt dates 4A defines what this vechicle had when available for sale Factory plates never defined this even though they changed model design without indication Cheers Phil

Hi Isuppose a bit of history is required here In the late 60's Australia was the leading nation to enforce seatbelts to be installed by manufacturers into vechicles. Although wearing of them was not compulsory for a few years latter on and sometimes only required a lap belt and again Australia was the first country to enforce this Tougher legislation was being enforced in the early seventies for 3 point lap and sash to stop the occupant from submarineing under lap seatbelts In the early seventies the reports going back to the safety committies was the comfort and positioning of the staps/buckles and anchors was not encoraging people to wear the safety belts From 1973 -1975 a review of the retraction systems and webbing / heat effdarect on plastic components lead to changes in the standards applied to car manufacturers. in late 1974 to jan 1976 the Australian Standards issued new requirements to meet these factors (ADR 4B/4C/4D) and vechicle manufacturers had to comply the parts listing shows a seatbelt change in 10/1975 to the 04/1976 and one can only assume that the vechicle builds had to change there type to meet these requirements for 3 point anchorages and improve operation and comfort of the seatbelts. I can only assume that your seatbelts where changed over to meet these requirements outlined either as a recall or did not meet the new aus/standards being implemented in a short period of time before the actual sale in australia Cheers Phil

Hi I would like to respond to the forum in regards to this post. I have been following this forum for about 2 years and only Officially registered just recently. I was classified by registered members as a "TROLL" when the Longfield collection was being posted even though i was contributing financially anonymously,this I believe was a unjust name tag for people wanting to view the quality of this forum. The catalyst for me to register was not the Technical or the For Sale but the many genuine responses to the unfortunate death of Kyle and the strong "esprit de corps" of the group even though many people had not meet him and spread all across this great land, and i was so touched. My first post was not an introduction but to assist a member just recently with some valuable information that I had in regards to a wiring harness.this was because I have an Australian parts list that is complete for all 240/260 and 2+2 up to 1978.therefore I agree with 53-681 to some extent. My suggestion would be to lock the FOR SALE and FREE sections only to donating members for a period of two (3) days from the time of the original post to enable active members (donating) first dibs at anything being offered and that way satisfy and encourage members to financially support the forum that has this section allowing parts that are now getting harder to find an avenue to restorers,this was always the impression and principal of many members I thought in saving these historic beasts from the metal crushers. I suppose some people will think that this view is not justified because I have-not gone to a formal intro,but what is a forum without a soapbox,what value is the speaker without a crowd,are we going to deny access to Gordon Dobies knowledge and experience because he hasn't done an intro to, I feel that in this area we should be a little bit tolerant, and focus on the issue that items are being claimed before active members,I was always taught not to whinge without offering a solution. Therefore I suppose if the will of the membership is there and the support of the moderators, then Gavin can make this LOCK happen and this will give value to being a donating member and still allow a vibrant forum Cheers Phil

Hi Maybe this can help and it appears to be from 8/76 on item 7 instrument harness Cheers
