1948 FX Holden
1948 FX Holden (48-215)
The 1948-215 FX Holden was a four-door, six-seater sedan, lightweight and durable, with a torquey 2.15 litre “grey engine”, chosen for its efficiency and durability. It offered exceptional performance and economy. With a top speed of over 80mph (130km/h) the Holden could cruise all day at 65mph (105km/h), take steep hills in its top-gear stride and typically return 30 miles per gallon (9.4l/100km). Aerobilt body construction, at the time a relatively new engineering principle, combined body and chassis into one all-steel unit.

Hi, I am writing a novel. It is a work of fiction roughly based on a true story. I need to obtain a detailed description of the FX ute braking system, how it works and what might cause a serious
brake failure thru lack of maintenance. It will only be a paragraph or two but the detail is important as far as factual content goes. can you help or point me in the right direction?
thanks Kevin
hey kev the master cyclinder is right under the driverside, back of the firewall, n sticks out a bit, and if extremly unlucky coud be hit by a rock.
