A couple of HK tachos recently completed.

Chris' 307 is running a completely stock set up with points ignition so he opted to leave the original circuit board. It was recalibrated with a complete facelift.

Jordan's copped the whole treatment. Full overhaul with a new digital circuit board, suitable for points, HEI & CDI ignition systems. We also upgraded it to LED illumination πŸ‘Œ

We can either restore your original HK tacho for you or supply a restoration kit for you to DIY at home. Kits include new housing, lens, bezel and faceplate.

Shoot us a message if you're interested.

We've been playing with diecast for many months now and these are the first results.

This is NOT a service that we are currently providing. It's something we're currently testing. These will be fitted to a mates cars so we can monitor how they hold up over time. As diecast is known for, these could explode with corrosion and bubble up in no time, or not ever.
Time will tell.

This post isn't to advertise tail light housings, it's to show we're working on other things, trying and testing new methods AND waiting to see how things hold up with time.

IF we do go ahead with this as a service, it won't be until late 2027. It won't be cheap. It's incredibly labour intensive and expensive.

Please don't message us about pricing or availability, these are not available, we're just testing new things......

HK Kingswood and Belmont instrument fascia inserts.

Perfect for the fascia that has had holes drilled for switches, lights, push buttons etc. Previously, we've had to have the customer source another fascia.

These are made from our textured black vinyl and are ideal for covering those drilled holes.

Available with and without CHOKE lettering and hole.

Available direct from us and Hk Ht Hg Parts and Panels

Some custom console woodgrain inserts for those running aftermarket ratchet shifters in manual consoles and those who fit a full length console to column shift vehicles.

We can supply these in HK, HT type woodgrain, satin black woodgrain and textured black. (The textured black is also great for base model Monaro inserts that have had holes drilled in them)

In stock and available now.

Also available from Hk Ht Hg Parts and Panels

The instrument cluster you would have had fitted to your new HK Belmont if you ticked the Big Block option at the dealership 😁

Saturday afternoon shed sessions watching Nitro Funny Cars on TV and stripping, repairing and prepping plastic when we noticed this.

Sean's pair of HKTG short consoles ready to go in the acid, when we noticed the different masking lines between the two.

Have never seen the mask line on the left console before, all of the ones we've done have been the same as the one on the right.
Also, the one on the left has had carpet glued in the bottom like a full length console. Haven't seen that before either....

Another thing we've noticed lately with these is that a few of them we've stripped appear to have been repainted, from what we believe is by the factory. Our acids and other chemicals remove most paints, but won't touch the paint as used by GM-H. So we can see what colour it was, what colour it became and also whatever rattle can respray it's had in its life.

Can anyone identify the colours by model? (Our identification is one's blue, the other isn't) They both appear to be the same blue originally, with the gold one repainted.

We "assume" different assembly plants, same as the long consoles being either black or interior colour????

Any rivet counters have any thoughts? It's not something that interests or bothers us too much, but if someone's dropping $200+K on a Premier resto, we can mask it a little differently for them when we mask and paint it.

HT HG outer pods for sports type instrument fascias will be available soon. (To purchase outright for you to fit)

They're textured like the originals with no 3D printing contour lines. They can be vacuum metalized also, unlike many 3D printed components.

We'll be offering these to be fitted to your std HT HG fascia to convert it to a sports type to suit original instruments or they can be modified to suit aftermarket instruments.

At this stage we'll be able to supply and fit these to your std fascia for a lot less than the price of a second hand sports type fascia. But this service won't be available until sometime next year due to our current workload.

Another batch of HK HT HG instruments, fascias, quadrants, k***s and ashtrays almost ready to ship.

Another 30+ vehicles worth to go before we take on any more restorations.
