I have only distributed stickers to fellow members on this forum, and some friends, and strictly as a non-profit exercise.......in fact I made a loss in the end, but that's not an issue as I had fun with the whole project.
Sure there might be copyright issues, but I would hope that Land Rover and Isuzu would look at it in a positive way.

Good, life is too short not to have fun.

Murray,

I have given away some of the stickers I bought to valued customers/ people who appreciate it. I have not sold any due to the aforementioned copyright type of issues.
Love your work, quite a few have commented on the ones attached to my RR:cool:

Wouldn't have a clue who I got the stickers from, orifficer, but the're damn good don'tcha think. Wish I could personally thank the the bloke whose idea it was:D:D:D

I'm just adding links to other threads which directly relate to this engine conversion.

Cheers, Murray

our 101 could do with one aswell ,we park them together yes

did u consider a thermo fan ,
im assuming u did but have
many reasons not too.
i put one in and it rarely kicks on
my inspiration was room as i was removing
the ac at the time then i did a radiator flush
resulting in a new radiator.(many leaks were
unsealed)

I used the fan which was on the motor in the truck. It has a viscous coupling and fit in the Landy fan shroud without mods, so I was happy to go with that.

There were many more tasks during this project which I either haven’t mentioned or have forgotten…….for example, cleaning the fuel system etc etc etc etc .

After many months, I finally got to the stage where I could turn the key.

Murray,

What's the size of your intercooler, and did you have any trouble fitting it between the radiator and the cross braces?

There's approximately 5 cm between the end of the radiator and the cross brace on my non-AC 120, and most intercoolers I've come accross are 70 to 76mm in thickness. Is there more space in the front of an AC county, or did you have to relocate the cross braces forward? (If so I'd appreciate any more pictures showing how it was done).

Cheers

I did have to move the cross braces forward. At the top I used a metal plate which bolted on with the bonnet catch. From memory, I think I welded the nuts to the bottom of it, then just drilled a couple of holes for the braces.
On the bottom, I welded a small tube to the back of the braces to extend them forward, and just used some longer bolts through the brace and the tube.

My intercooler is 65mm thick. I can't recall how much I moved the braces, but I think there is about 10mm between the I/C and Rad.

Cheers, Murray
