CF Bedford Van

[Holden202T]

yeah I believe the difference in VL at least is they have the lower hose enter the tank about 3 inchs up whereas the later ones have the bottom hose right at the bottom of the tank, other than that same size, so this fan would be spot on if you have that in 6 cyl or V8.

I run a vn type radiator in the vl and they fit quite well and seem to keep it cool with no dramas so far. have you put power to them yet they move a lot of air

this is the radiator I am running at the moment http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-V8-Co ... 2337b7b7df

just tried it now, only one fan but yeah they move plenty of air!! nice and quiet too!

so got it roughly trimmed to fit on the radiator, fucking lovely, 1 inch on the dot happy days!

the gap may be slightly less as i have to space the top of the radiator off the main support a bit, but will be like 5mm difference! very happy with the radiator and fans now!! cheers for the suggestions of mondeo's!! my new favourite for conversions i reckon!!

What about a commodore seat ??

I think I'm going to have to make custom mounts cause the current seat bases aren't wide enough and ones half rusted out but it's good enough to see how it will sit!!

did another session out at the brothers place to rape and pillage some more bits of the donor VS Commodore!

So as you can see my little Holden Cruze is become quite the work horse hehehehe. One seat, upper section of the dash, most of the wiring loom, steering column, and some other odds and ends

so once I got home I just HADDDDDD to see if these bits were going to fit .... at all ....

first was the dash, just sat it in place, will need some massaging, but I reckon it shouldn't be too hard to get it a lot closer to the windscreen and sitting nicely!

Next was to see how the steering column would mount and line up for the rack .... surprisingly good

so I am reckoning, make a few custom mounts to suit the bolt holes for the column and one or two support bars and it will be sweet as, then at the bottom, if I machine two flat sides into the rack shaft I reckon it will drop into place kinda like it was meant to be there

[vs ss]

Your right about ment to be there, could not ask for a closer fit.
That dash will look good in there once all done.

[Holden202T]

yeah i agree on both counts!

need to get some steel to strengthen the steering column mount and we'll be in business

haha, the cruze was pretty well loaded up.

The trial dash and column fit is promising and will certainly make it much nicer to drive. Lookin good
