Unfortunately, I can't sell one of these to you but our sponsor FTG salvage seems to have gotten hold of them. What he is selling is Genuine Ford kit which is restricted to GT's and F6's and charges $280.00 for them, same price as we do.

Sorry but Ford makes it so dealers can't sell them unless you own a GT or F6. :(
Here is his Ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FALCON-BA-BF-FPV ... 518ff9a304

hey papa smurf i got to replace the rubber plug that goes the the manifold i dunno what you would call it ( pcv valve bung?) and the rocker cover ruber washers where you bolt it down and a rocker cover seal is it cheaper to buy from ford as or just get a whole vrs kit? and rang ford in rocky today about the head locator things they wanted 8 bucks each also would the locator rings be in a vrs kit as im thinking i might just go for that?

Sounds like Tropical Ford needs more money? $8.00 each is highway robbery. :( Unfortunately they do NOT come with a VRS.
As to the rubber plug, are you referring to a plastic fitting that screws into the back of the Manifold? They have a habit of braking easy, Part number EA 9A474 A $15.00.
The washers for the bolts are V 830085 S100 $3.90 each. Does your Rocker cover have the 2 half circles as part of it? if so the Gasket for the cover is $51.00 genuine Ford part number ED 6584 B.

Buying a Genuine VRS is WAY too dear and, if you are replacing a head, you need the AU head gasket from Ford, part number ER 6051 A $88.00.

Unfortunately, these trims are obsolete. They are the same as the Wagon door ¼ glass trim.

For replacement, all Alternators are now BA ones. There is a rework kit for when adding a BA one to an AU I which is just a connector and terminals. :)

Would you happen to know where i can get the dimensions of a manual tailshaft and yoke and also the dimensions of an auto tailshaft and yoke???? i am 100% the yokes are different but im not sure about the length of the shaft!!!

As i cant get my hands ahold of a manual shaft for my conversion, so im just gonna modify an auto shaft at National Driveshafts (who also apparently do the blacktrack shafts) and they are also gonna strngthen it!

Regards
Nathan

in an AU/BA the tailshaft are shorter than the auto. Yokes are the same unless you go T56 or TR3650
