Question Console lid?

Does anyone know if Rare Spares make console lids for E series falcons? I have searched on the web without success and every wrecked E series i have come across so far has the broken console lid! They must be rare as hens teeth!

Doubt it, Rares usually deal in cars older than the E-series when it comes to things like this, I'd say keep hunting but it's worth a call to them to be sure.

EB, I think they make them for dunnydores and early holdens but they seem biased toward Fords!

How much does Ford want for one?

because they should have most of the E-series lids (i know they dont stock the Blue EA one's though)

i fixed my own, and made a steel plate that goes in, instead of the plastic, painted it up, trimmed it, and its better than new, i've done this for lots of mates as well, where abouts are you? i'd do the same for you for less than half a new one, and it will be better

I called ford for a console lid. He comes back and suggested I sit down.

No lids, complete console only, near $800. Only rang one dealer in Qld, but assume its the same elsewhere, since they get on the database.

Ok, that's positively rediculous, you could by a whole EA for $800.

See your local wreckers.

Thats what i thought, its the most likely part to break under normal circumstances. nah I just made one. Wreckers ones up here were all cactus too or wrong colour.

On a side note, the pwr window switch blanking plate on the ghia consoles, I needed one of those two, as mine had pwr windows but car doesnt, I found one on ebay, bidding was at $12 (ended at $16 + post) I checked with Ford before bidding, they have em for < $7. Go figure. 'SBS' needs to alter its motto, the worlds a crazy place.
