Holden 2a build "OPAL"

Good news Paul,
it must have been one hell of a trying time.
The bloody smoke alone must have been hell, and full of toxic gases.
Here near Mildura we have had a few days where the bushfire smoke has rolled in and it certainly has a toxic odour to it
and it would be absolutely nothing compared to what it would be in the fire zones.

Cheers, Mick.

Not sure how to wire up solenoid on my vehicle.......... older 2a with starter button

Attachment 159306 soleniod

Attachment 159307where does terminal "A" go to, and Terminal "B"

I would imagine one goes to the ignition but which one and what is the other for?

Cheers Paul

Terminal A supplies 12volts at crank only. Terminal B is your starter solenoid activation terminal. You need the battery to be connected to the starter motor. The starter button usually takes the place of the starter solenoid. But you don't have an inertia reel starter fitted(original type starter motor), so now the button is just used to activate the starter solenoid. Cheers

Thanks Rod I will try a mock-up on my bench using this configuration

got the guards on so I can continue with wireing and have something to fix to

Attachment 159339 Attachment 159340 military chassis certainly lifts the body

Attachment 159341 Attachment 159342 I'm thinking its a little high at the front

Attachment 159343 I'll move the springs to the top hole....not a job I'm looking forward to[bigsad]

Attachment 159344 My original concept drawing....pretty happy with proportions in reality[bigsmile]

You need to realise that at the front at least, you must use the standard shackles if using the top hole, and extended shackles if using the bottom one, otherwise, the steering castor is wrong and will cause steering problems.

Not as big an issue at the back.
