Omega General Help / Re: Engine numbers
« on: 04 June 2017, 23:09:16 »The engine number reads
G4 150 A 78777
That is not a Vauxhall /GM Engine Number. That engine has been re-conditioned and that would be the number the re-conditioner would use

General Car Chat / Re: Senator A Build
« on: 11 February 2017, 20:01:35 »
Ok while i'm sitting here convalescing it's about time for an update on this project. Most of the work since the last up date has been stripping,cleaning, painting etc
First thing to do was to build up the rear suspension so i could get it back on its wheels ready for going to paint. The repaired trailing arms were painted with an epoxy mastic primer from http://www.rust.co.uk/ which is a real strange paint to spray but once on it does give s great finish
Rear Axle carrier
Trailing Arm
Front Cross Member
Did have a spot of trouble with the trailing arms bushes. After having a tool made to be able to compress the bushes to fit them in the arms we could get any correct bushes, seems all the Ob stock dealers in Europe are listing the Carlton bush as an early Senator bush. The bush body is the same size but its seven mil to long and still did not fit after cutting the centre tube to the correct length so we may have to go down the poly bush route.
Although this was a bit of a set back we did have a new pair of arms which were going to be used on the Monza (Next Project) so these have been employed for the time being.
Diff was all cleaned and new pinion and drive side seals were fitted so this could be fitted to the axle carrier
Back end complete, well not fully but enough to get it on the ground
One of the front struts ready for re-build
Complete and fitted

Sounds like a knock off, have you a picture of the label. As a Sealey agent i can compare it against a proper lable

Get on while you can as this will be the last lot of V8's to come from down under. Holden plant is shutting this summer, Ford i think has already shut. and there will be no more built.
Holden are also dropping the V8 engine as well and from what i've seen on V8 Super Cars site the next race car will be a space frame chassis with V6 twin turbo rwd with a new Insignia body shell crafted on but there will not be a RWD Insignia offered for sale
