Nah Philbus we’ve been full on - we’re deemed an ‘essential service’ so kept working - after the last 6mths I ain’t complaining . Our biggest threat is the greenies stopping us . Anyway as for this ‘self isolation’ - I’ve been doing that for nearly 25 yrs so I’m all over it haha

Hoses and fittings arrived for the air compressor installation under the middle row seats, so finished that off, happy with the result Installed so rubber stone guards around some cables under the front wheel arch. Have a squeaking sound coming from somewhere around the powersteering pump, found it has running a lowish fluid level, topped it up but made no difference. Sound goes away after say 5 minutes of idle, looking but cannot identify the source.
Now just waiting for the w2a big pump - its arrived in NSW, so with luck will have it early next week. Then the tank can be made and fitted up.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Speechless! Wonder what the rest of the motor looks like, and guessing a little bit more boost than I am running!!!

New EMP WP32 pump arrived today, finally at 5pm, so that's a win for tomorrow. The 10L tank is fabricated and I just need to cut and weld the inlet and outlets into it. I think by the time I make the pump mount bracket and mount that off the tank, run the cables to relay and isolator etc, 2 days will be done and dusted.
Added a touch sensitive light to the rear cargo barrier timber board so interior is well lit up. Still have that damn ticking sound on start up - cant find the source, will drive me spare until I know what it is and fix it though! Will post photos later tonight.EMP Pump 1.JPGEMP Pump 2.JPG

Another good day in the garage. Finished off the tank, mounted the pump and painted the tank ready for a coat of epoxy bitumen then thermal insulation. Ordered some custom a/c fittings as the clearance off the firewall is very tight. With luck will have them by Monday. Replacement Couplertec unit arrived and fitted that up also.

Bit of stuffing around, waiting on the custom a/c fittings.Triple insulated pump.JPGTank drying.JPGbitumen paint.JPG
Triple insulated the pump and motor assy, trying to get the tank to dry in Melb's 13 degC day is a challenge

Darren, we are all good at some stuff and not so good at others!!! House painting is fine, handling this 2 pack bitumen paint is another thing all together. Its too cold to be applying it to be honest, plus, normal heat activation to accelerate the hardener does not work - it makes the mix more plastic, so I ended up setting up the fan with coldish air all day - and it still looks like crap,. Anyway, tomorrow I do the plumbers thing and cover it under a couple of layers of insulation, so the scar will be hidden - but thanks for highlighting my failings!- mate.
