The great BA/BF parts on your EF/EL's Challenge

[mons2b]

Right then,

Lets pick everyones brains. What BA,BF bits will fit right on a EF Falcon with little modification. Bolt on bits are a bonus. So I mean any bits at all. The wind screen wipers, seats, mirrors, any bit at all.
What bits can we fit on our EF/ELs from BA's BF's....
:voldar02:

Talk to John aka EFFalcon.....

[INJECTED_250]

THe intake from the trottle body fits.. to the Ef/eL air box

[The Goodz]

Not much at all I can tell you! Wipers, mirrors and seats won't fit without modification. They don't share an awful lot in common with the e-series, although you can put a BF starter motor on any e-series 6 cylinder, other than that, its really stuff all unless you enjoy modifying!

[EDXR6T]

yes thats it modifying!!

im going to fit a BA momo gear knob, shifter stalk and the aloy ring and boot on my shifter suround soon

not to much moding need'd
hope not:P

[The Goodz]

I'll be putting the BA ring and boot on mine as well after I steal one from the warranty bin... Just gotta make a new gear stick, this is where my industrial sized lathe comes into play

Alex

[5speedeb]

Alex

stealing is wrong alex :Phahah

why you not going the BA shifter stalk? got somthing custome in store

[INJECTED_250]

Ba water pump will fit..... :> same as AU.....

[5speedeb]

has anyone put ba side reapters on their e series yet?

[The Goodz]

BA water pump will fit EF/EL, not EA. The part number for the water pump is AU28501KT. EA has a GWF-somethingorother part number, can't remember, haven't sold one for a while!

Yeah I'm going to make a custom shift stalk, because I'm tall I sit a fair way back so a straight stalk is no good, it has to be angled like the EA shifter. I'm going to make one with sort of an S bend in it so its vertical but is further back.

Oh I just remembered, if anyone wants a brand new BA steering wheel to experient with (just the rim, not the center) you can have one for $20! I have one sitting in the garage. It has a square mount not a splined one like the e-series had, but if you want something to modify....

Alex

[The Goodz]

BA side repeaters aren't the same I don't think as they're recessed into the body slightly, whereas the AU3 clear ones are not, they fit the e-series guard with only a little bit of filing of the hole...

Alex

[fiery]

I want a bulge on my bonnet.. (they are soooo mmmm):

So will the BA bulge bonnet fit? :


:

[Polyal]

Yeah buldge is nice, also if you have an EA it would be easier to put on BA repeaters as you could drill a hole where you want it and then just stick it on.

Does a badge count?....lol

Speak to Kaddis, his brother just put an aftermarket bulge on his EF Xr6 about 2 weeks ago, he can fill you in on the details and price _2:

[Hotwire]

Saw an EL in for sale section with BA XR Leather seats (electric drivers)... no idea how hard they were to fit ?

[finnyman]

id like the BA XR side skirts and rear bumper on, sum1 already did this, cant remember who....was dark green, what front bumper would go with them so it all looks even, SVO bar maybe?? hmmm.....

[mons2b]

Cool. Someone should do a tutorial on how to force some BA seats to fit an e series. Maybe make some custom mounts?

That was EFFalcon. He also modified a BA XT/Futura/Fairmont front bumper to suit his EF. Looks quite good!

[mcflux]

Semi-auto shifters! :

Awesome... will have to find out more now... omg just the thought of that bulge... sweet as :sm_drool:

Thanks for the info

[mr_efxr]

I think the serpentine drive belt fits from BA to EF-EL.

[The Goodz]

No the drive belts are different. The pulleys and tensioners are in different positions, hence different belt length.

EA2BA has the shifter working... but that did requre some work...
