Hi, I think everyone is right, The difference is in early and late production from what I have learnt.My late modle gpa which only has 4000miles or so has not been tampered with and it has mainly 5/16 in binding screws in the front floor and 1/4 binding screws around the gear shift,It was like that ...

Thankyou for the info.I will now use the required number of binding head screws as indicated in parts book,
thanks again

Hi everyone
I am not sure how the floor plates are held in place,My first GPA had mainly 5/16 in pan screws.I have seen most gpas have 5/16 in hex bolts.What do you think is correct? :roll:
Thanks for any help Rick

Wow Stephen
Where on earth would you find something like that?
Good luck Rick[/img]

Hi Leo
Here are the photos of the holes and brackets I was wondering about.


Rick

Does anybody know what the 3 threaded 5/16 in holes in the front passenger side floor are used for?I have always wondered.And the brackets on the inside wall of the passenger side hull are for?There seems to be so many mysteries to a GPA,I thing thats why I like them so much,just like a woman.
Rick

Thanks Peter
I have been able to gain a little more clearance as i found the shroud was not perfectly round.I think it is about 3/8 in or a little more now and I have adjusted the radiator position a little.

I have been down in the shed tonight fitting a gpa 6 blade fan which I have recently aquired and was surprised with the limited clearance between the fan and the shroud.There is about a 5/16 in at the bottom and 3/16 in at the top.Does this sound right.?It seems to work fine but I am concerned about...

The engine is a MB mid series
Rick

This vehicle was found in Queensland Australia. Two vehicles were combined to make the one you see. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k298/irvinen/IMGP0903.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k298/irvinen/IMGP0906-1.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k298/irvinen/IMGP0902.jpg http://i91.photobu...

Hi David
Have you considered making the right and left battery supports and tray?they always seem to go missing or just rust away.
What about the support for the passanger front seats i could do with a pair of them.
Cheers Rick
