TORANA Radios & battery cables

  The HB & LC radios and speakers are a bit of a mystery, some vehicles had no provision for a dash mounted radio. If you have any info, photos or an original radio and speaker, please contact me. If the LC GTR had a radio it was most likely a ‘Thumbwheel Radio’ as in the photo here. 

Please see the LJ TAB for more info on the speaker.

At times I have original radios for sale. I can offer Radio Conversions for these and any other radio you have; see ‘Repairs and Conversions’ on the home page. Also see LJ Radios on the next TAB. See photos below.

The LJ standard radio was a ThumbWheel radio as far as I know, photo below.

At times I have these radios for sale. I can offer Radio Conversions for the ThumbWheel and any other radio you have; see ‘Repairs and Conversions’ on the home page. I am working on a  replacement radio which will be the same as one i have for the HQ Holden; you can go back and click on the ‘HQ’ Tab to see the details.

As far as the STANDARD LJ SPEAKER goes, it was mounted on a special ‘tray’ under the glove-box, and suspended by a U bracket & 2 side brackets, see photos below, and factory drawings. I would appreciate any info you have on this mounting Tray & U bracket, check the drawings below. Please contact me re speaker.

HJ – WB and LH, LX, UC radio, prices in Price-list on home page.

The LH LX UC standard radio was much the same as the HJ – WB radio as far as I know, mounted in the dash, and the SLR & A9X had the same radios, but mounted in the console…. I could be wrong here, please feel free to contact me and ‘set me straight’.

The replacement radios i have for these are the same as the HJ – WB radios.
