Rare accessory called an “ENGINE STAY”. Stops your engine & gearbox rocking forward when braking hard and going over a bump, putting the fan into the radiator. “Where does it fit”!!! You take one of the lower bolts out from between the engine and gearbox and screw one end of the “Engine stay” in and take one bolt out from the cross member to the rear of the gearbox and put the other end of the “Engine stay” in. Then put the cable in using the pins and split pins. These were fitted standard in the FJ Army Utes.

This is a Genuine Factory Mechanics tool for the Fx-FJ Holden Grey Motor. It is a Crankshaft Gear Instalation Tool. It corectly installs the gear on the shaft when the crank has been out, or the gear has been removed/replaced. Without this tool it is not possible to install the gear on the shaft squarely, or ensre that it is seated properly. This tool makes sure it is installed squarely which is important.

The "FJ Holden Business Sedan" was the only Holden that came out with a cigarette lighter fitted into the dash , BUT was first placed above the glove box (which was difficult for the driver to reach),but latter moved above the ash tray ,closer to the driver. All other FJ models the NASCO UNIVERSAL CIGARETTE LIGHTER BRACKET PACKAGE Part No - M30823 was used ,if you didn't wish to drill a large hole in the dash of your Holden.

That is one great looking little "truck". Nice chrome grill. First time I've heard of it. You've done a great job presenting it. 5*. Take a look at my 69 Monaco convertible when you get a minute. Please leave a comment & a rating. Laurence
