Yes they are and there is 2 bushes per side; EF 3A140A x 2 $9.50 each and EF 3A225A x 2 $20.20 each.

OK... I have a good one for you.

What is the part number of that little rubber/stud/d**k thing on the rocker cover of the BA/BF turbos that hold down the exhaust side of the cross over to the rocker cover itself.

This would be the stud that the f**k in the service department always seem able to break on every turbo Falcon built.

I take it you are referring to the Air intake for the Air Cleaner? if so, there is an insulator with a domed nut? part number is BA 9W680A up to 31/05/06 and BAF 9W680B from the 01/06/06.
Item 9W680 is what I think you mean?

I was referring to the black cast cross over thing with "Intercooled" cast into it.

The stud is similar to wat you are referring to with item 9W680, but its actually attached to the rocker cover. That stud/nut combo you are pointing too attaches to the top of the BBM.

On the far left side there is a bracket cast into the cross over. You can see it a little in the pic, like a wedge sticking out from the top of the cross over. When in place, that bracket sits over one of those stud things that is attached to the cross over to hold the whole assembly down firmly.

You'd have to go loot at another b-series turbo to see what I mean. I take it that pic is from Microcat (or whatever its called now) and doesn't illustrate the part, unless its in another section... But so far no one has been able to find the correct part number, hence why I set the challenge.

Fair enough mate, I will look at work today to see if I can find.

Hey Papa,
Any chance of a part no and price for left and right engine mounts for EFII V8

Cheers

Ok, a stroke of luck today, we had a 2003 BA XR turbo in for service, that stud thing at the back of that cast chamber was broken. They took the chamber off for me to get a better look and there is a threaded hole in the rocker cover and the stud that goes in there is the same as the 2 that go into the upper part of the inlet manifold. We do sell a few of these and the silly things appear to be made from rubber and cast thread.
The thread in them is not all the way through and are vulcanized into the mount so that each half of the screw is in the rubber which is one of the reasons they brake so easy.
Our mechanic said that many guys try to take the nut off them and they just break, you need to grab hold of the Rubber part with a pair of point nose pliers and then undo the nut, unfortunately that doesn't ALWAYS work

There is a number for a later type that may be modified, we don't have any so I couldn't check. Part number BAF 9W680B, might be a mod, I don't know and I couldn't find out today.
The original are a BAD design, they should have made one with a stud right through for rigidity and then cast a rubber cushion around the centre of it. Holden used to have a similar thing to hold the radiators in HQ, J, X, Z.

Hope that helps matey

part number R/H EF 6038B and L/H EF 6B032B each costing 328.00, bloody hell.

I am sure that after-market ones are available for a LOT less.

This is a question I posed on the forums. This diff set up is on ebay,but all I want is the diff itself,for the lsd.
AU Fairlane rear end .Would suit AU, BA, BF and possibly FG.
Guys, is this true,or is there a lot of work involved? I wish to have an LSD in my BA MK1
Hopefully you will be able to assist me.
Cheers,
Terry.

What I can tell you Terry is that the CrownWheel and Pinion on AU/BA/BF 3.45 M78 axle are same, the bearings for it are the same, the side diff bearings are the same but the actual centre part, the LSD, is different. I can't say definitively that they are a suitable change over and maybe it would be better to get one from a BA?

AU ones did have a tendency to wear out the slippery part rather quick. The replacement centre unit for a BA is $1820.00 brand new but you would also be up for new pinion bearings, side bearings, seals, a collapsible spacer and Nut. The cost would be prohibitive in my opinion.

Might be an idea to find a reconditioned one or search a wreckers for one. We do HAVE a wreckers sponsor on the site too.. ferntree-gully-auto-salvage-f24/

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I think this is my barrel lock drivers side, obviously broken, can you tell me how much it would cost to replace and if i need to replace the whole thing or just the plastic part, and also if i would be looking at replacing both the ignition barrel and boot locks too because of it? Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong section, you seem like the man with all the answers

woops forgot to add my picture



forgot to tell you make and model of car 2002 Ford Falcon Wagon BA

Papa Smurf you rock! are the brackets that hold in the premo sound units in the EF/EL series still available? thanks.

G'day Mr Smurf,

Just wondering if you can tell us if BA six cylinder Falcons came WITHOUT air conditioning and if so, is there any possibility of having a butchers at a diagram of where the air conditioning compressor (or lack of) would be and what bracketry and idler pulleys ae required to rid the compressor.

Thanks heaps in advance!

Going by what you are saying Papa Smurf, an AU IRS LSD will slip straight into the BA/F M78 centre, as the AU is 4 pinion and the BA is 2 pinion. hence, AU Centre is slightly stronger.

Blackmyst, Ford do not list that part but, it looks so much like the same thing fitted to an EA/EB/ED/EF/EL so, here is the number for it. It is called a lock lever part number EAB F21970A and costs $8.30. The set for a BA less the tailgate one is AU2 F22050A $329.00

I do hope that the lock lever is the same thing as it will be SO much cheaper than a lock set.
