Member Rides
This month's member ride is a show stopping 1964 EH
Holden that is the pride and joy of Brad McCosker from
Maker Neylon Motors in Queensland.
The car was purchased from Kingaroy as a bare shell and
took a total of 3 1/2 years to fully restore. The first job was
to have the car stripped down to full bare metal and repair
the rust. A lot of time was spent on the body with countless
hours spent perfecting it.
The car was painted in Dalby by Jimmy Callanan who did a
great job. A new gearbox tunnel and modified HR Holden
front suspension with rear mount commodore steering
rack was installed. Koni shocks were fitted to the entire
car. The rear boot was cut out and an alloy fuel tank fitted.
The car was then mini tubbed to fit 275/18 tyres on rear.
The engine bay has been fully detailed and a vintage air
conditioning system fitted. A full leather custom interior
was installed. A new upper dash with Dakota Digital Dash
was fabricated and fitted. The front brakes were upgraded
to 330mm front brake rotors with 4 piston billet alloy
callipers. The rear brakes upgraded to 315mm rotors and 4
piston billet callipers.
Many thanks to Capricorn Preferred Supplier BHSS at
Capalaba, who were a big help on the restoration project.
Brad and his wife love to cruise in the car on the weekends
and Brad has even driven it in Powercruise at the
Queensland Raceway.
Brad is still having some issues with the turbo 700
transmission and would love to hear from any Capricorn
Preferred Suppliers who have any suggestions.

Member Details on Payments
Over the last few months there have been some issues
encountered with regards to Capricorn Member details being
sent through when paying accounts. Recently there have
been multiple instances of Member account payments being
received by the Capricorn banking team with incomplete and/
or insufficient member details accompanying the payments.
We encourage all Capricorn members to include their member
number as the banking reference on payments to avoid
processing delays and in turn, any late payment interest
charge.
Sending account payments through with insufficient details
not only adds to the administrative work required to process
them, it also creates potential problems for Capricorn Members
who may incur a late payment interest charge. Members also
run the risk of not having their account paid in time as payment
processing can take longer when not accompanied with the
correct details.
