No idea - in my case it's a 2a with 2.25P and 35A alternator - which is why I said I didn't have the power available for spotties.

I think the double set of lights is great, and I'd definitely consider that option if I had a Series.
Just think, no branches or rubbish can knock the extra lights out of alignment like it happens with spot-lights, where you often end up on a trip with one light in the clouds and the other shining 2 inches in front of the radiator....
Run relays and a decent alternator and battery, and you could have H4 rated to 100W on each bright beam: 400W will really make these wallies with their BMWs and their blue tinted lights sit up and take notice.
Wow what a build.
But the most painful and most obvious is those double lights, such a shame. I am not a purist but no normal 'face' should have 4 eyes. All else is great.

The Merc engine that he has used, can you get that in Aus ?
Yeah mate, if you're after one keep a look out for the Mercedes 300D as they use the OM617. Fairly common car and they do come up for sale or wrecking fairly often.Quote:

Oh and yeah, the guy did have a matching 88". It had the OM616 in it (4 cyl). He built the LWB one because on extended trips he found he just didn't have the space.
Interesting, thx,Quote:
