Re: Barra DOHC I-6

What do you call a kiwi laying under a wheel barra?
a mechanic.

Maybe the best place to try would be a internet search for a Australian auto wrecker.
but be warned they like to take your money

Re: Rear fuel tank

Hi I used a XD falcon panel van one in mine.
but the sender doesn't work on ohms reading because of the digital dash.
a xw-xc sender may fit, and a good clean tank is only worth about $80.
I used autometer universal gauge and sender in mine

Re: RHD wiper motor

Leith the arms measure 11 1/2" centre to centre at the holes.
there is some part numbers on the arms 89339-11.
the pivots are numbered 46.
the arm on the motor parks to the left if that helps as well.
