The pull cable wont pass.
It has to be manual by hand and direct on the gas tap, not by cable.

I need to check AS1496, there will be a copy at work. I tend to agree, plus its a bit awkward, so I've cut a hatch in the floor. If they argue the valve cant be accessed when I've got a load on, I'll argue its the same for a Rangie or commodore loaded up.Quote:

You had to crawl under the truck to reset them.
I'm simply not up to date. I let the engineers do all that :angel:
The gas conversion is getting fitted tomorrow, fingers crossed.
Not much work on the project been done, this has been my garage for the last month.:eek: Its being fully underpinned under the house.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...008/11/628.jpg

The red landie is hiding under the tarp..:cool:
Just read your entire thread. Your project looks great, wish I had the time and patience to complete something like that :BigThumb:
DeeJay,
Came back to your thread after having looked at it earlier. Great build.
Thinking of digging out a basement workshop and your garage renos also interested me. Not to hijack the thread perhaps I can contact you via PM on the excavations and what is involved.
PM sent:cool:Quote:

This is what it ended looking like after I cut out the bonnet.

Not to be beaten, I got to work to direct the air thru the snorkels.
I bought two old Holden air cleaners off a wrecker and started cutting.

I basically made two air inlets into the cleaner

And here is the end result.

Now to find an aluminium genius to make me a "bump"
Couple of other jobs, I made a cabinet for the air compressor out of a waterproof ammo box.

Its now mounted above the pass wheel

Also this heavy duty diff casing is fitted up.

Unfortunately the filler plug is a different size so the temp sensor will need to be refitted.
That air cleaner setup is ingenious :)
Well done mate !!
Pete
Well done :D
Have you thought about where your air compressor is going to draw air if its mounted in a water proof box and the over heating factor if run for long periods:cool:
Kind of.:angel:Quote:

With the electric jobbie the toolbox door swings open to let some air in - its only to pump up tyres- Doh I should have said- & I'm told by TJM that it will get too hot to touch normally anyway. I bought one of those old type chuffer spark plug compressors that I timed & it pumped up a 7.50x16 from 16 psi to 32 in 5 min- about the same time as the Bluetongue ( at 1/8th the price) , so I should get by if I use both, one spark plug is dead easy to access.
