XES 384

Hi all,
 
Would anybody please have the dimensions of the fog lights that were supplied from factory?
Also were they Bosch, Hella or something else?
 
Cheers

Hi XES,
 
I don't know about the difference in power consumption of the two boxes, but I know you'll need a new shifter. BW40 shifter linkage is on the driver's side, C4 on the passenger side. Trans cooler lines will be different. Pretty sure you don't have to change the cross-member and tailshaft (keeping the 250).

Update- had the diff rebuilt and confirmed it is 2.77:1

Cheers guys, have spoken to Adam and Global Trim but no joy on the Chamois colour. I am a member of most of the FB pages so will continue to ask around

There's a guy on marketplace and other FB groups, (Adam I think his name is) who has obtained and hoarded stock, of old Ford/Holden seat fabrics.
He charges a kings ransom for it apparently.
 
Global Trim in Wodonga, may have reproduction (or old stock?) S-pack material in Chamios.
 
Or try ringing around some old-school motor trimmers, who may have a roll still?
 

probably have to buy a whole seat set  (ideally only  left one and swap the foams also, less wear) 
 
there were some cars that had one square meter of seat trim behind the seat back(perhaps it was just the ones with the rear arm rest?).
THESE SOLD FAST 
so i suggest you join a few facebook pages, put the word out you are looking even. 
nearly 30yrs ago i got that seat trim replaced on mine with NEW old stock material, i can't remember if Global Trim have it these days? 
 
 

Update- finally got the car up on a hoist and can confirm as you said, it’s a BW40.
Cheers for your advice

you can try this guide out, but it wasn't that easy for a mate of mine who's tall and needed (wanted) to get the seat lower and further back in the same process. 
don't throw the S pack seats out, there's been a lot of facebook posts looking for S pack seats lately, definitely one of the nicer parts of an S pack if you ask me. 
 
 

the kickdown cable (TV cable ) you need to remove the sump and from memory it's pretty simple to unhook and swap to the other box.  (i did the opposite about 10yrs ago, swapped an EFI BW51 into a carby spec BW40  and just swapped the cable over. 
 
the BW35 can possibly have the trans cooler lines on the opposite side, that might be a pain in the ask, the T bar shifter adjustment might be slightly different also as i remember mucking around changing a BW35 into My XE ute that had a stuffed BW40
i've seen the BW35 with the cooler lines on either side, so you might be lucky, and i have no idea why the shifter rod needed mucking with as i'd still assume it is located exactly same spot as the others on the transmission case. 
 
quick visual should see the cooler lines on the correct side or not, and the cable was fairly simple with the sump off. 
 
(i vaguely remember the cortina BW35 having the lines on the wrong side when My brother fitted the XF engine and BW40 to his TE back 25yrs ago ish)
