    Thanks for being so helpful, Matt. Very good of you. Brian in AU and I have been discussing these, but our conversation hasn't resulted in a purchase at this point. So, this NOS pair I have is available. Again, I appreciate you trying to help both Brian and I out. John

    G'day John.

    Those are different to the ones used on Holden bodies.

    They are a bugger to find and break very easily because of the age.

  2. Check that your rocker shaft isn't packed with old oil crud and all the feed holes to the rockers are clean an clear before installing it.

    Just washing the outside doesn't get the crud from inside the shaft.

    Also check the wire mesh screen in the oil feed line is not caked up with old oil crud.

  3. Welcome aboard fellow '39er.

    She looks like a beaut and all there. What's the plan with her ?? Restore it ??

    If you are new to the throttle start system, just beware that if the engine is startable, make sure that it is in neutral or the clutch is depressed. 

    If the ignition is on, it's in gear and you push the throttle pedal, it will take off. It seems obvious but seen it happen.

    Always amazes me that these old girls keep turning up next week. Good luck with it.

  4. G'Day,

    There is a cable that mounts on the steering column and goes down to the selectors.

    It moves the selector shaft in and out to move from 1st and reverse to 2nd and 3rd.

    My guess is the problem is that cable. They tend to break at the entry to the shaft going into the gearbox.

    Hope these are better.

    It is made from .55mm wire. The pics should show what you want.

    When pushing the throttle, that link bar goes up,  the fast idle screw should be pushed away from the cam by the spring.

    When foot off the throttle, that bar goes down. The bar pulls the fast idle screw onto the cam overcoming the spring.

    I think that makes sense. :)
