I have ordered the last 8 pans Holden have (they're not getting more as very low seller) and they don't stock the filters :weirdo: which is why I've mentioned previously that I had to get mine from the USA (cost me approx $80 all up). I'm liaising with a forum member over there to send over maybe 10 at a time at which they should be cheaper. Also have one of the newer Caddy pans on the way over from the US (through another contact who had to pay full price + tax :bawl:) in order to make sure it's effectively identical. The Caddy pans Holden had in stock have been superseded to a newer part number, hence me ordering one for comparison. I sent gaz05 a Facebook message to see if he just wants me to send the 8 pans straight to him to add baffles to etc as I'm guessing nobody else knows exactly what is required to do it themselves. :confused:

i can get a mate to weld in the baffles if gax is willing to provide a template pic of where to place it.

Given gaz05 did all the groundbreaking work I believe I should give him first option to decide which way he wants to go. If he's happy to provide templates and let people do them themselves then so be it, but I don't want to force him down that path by selling them willy nilly.

Wonks - is the filter 80 bucks only plus the pan on top

Filter only cost me $80 to land. List price in the US is approx $US55 but in bulk (10 at a time) we should do better. Here the normal Holden pans (#24239528) have a list of $88.00ea + GST and filters (#24252158) are list $69.00 + GST and I reckon our finished price for pan and filter will be similar, maybe even better depending on how much work is involved in baffling and extending fillers etc.. Unfortunately we just have to be patient as it took me forever to get a bulk price from Holden on the pans and they still haven't arrived at my dealer and at this time of year I assume gaz05 has better things to do with his family than welding stuff for us. :)

do we have a list of buyers yet ?
i definitely wont a baffled caddey one and filter as soon as they are available
pm with payment details

No worries, as soon as I get them done and figure out the cost I will let you guys know, getting the Caddy filters might be a bit of a problem though, I might give Dave at YANK a call and see what he can get me.

I've got someone in the US lined up to get some of the Caddy filters and I'm sure even with shipping they'll work out cheaper than buying a standard A6 filter from Holden.

I think alot of people will be happy with the caddy pan/ filter only. Shouldn't need baffles (if not racing) as the filter sits fairly low. Just need to extend the plug to get a few more liters in.

What's the pipe out from the bottom Dan in the pic in the second last post? How much chance of hitting it on something?

Hi Gary

It's a drain plug. I guess there is a small chance of it getting hit.
