Fitted the fuel flowmeters and computer today, no correlation between the programming instructions and whats on the actual screen, completly different so a call to the vendor required to get it set up.
Removed the original Safari Snorkle and cut the hole for the new SS 4" unit. Its not a pretty outcome as the original hole cut by ARB is huge for reasons unknown, and the 3 off mounting holes, they are at least 22mm dia for m10 bolts - I understand they don't have time for fancy fitting up, but this is disgraceful to be honest. In fairness I guess you would never see them, but I can see the damn things now! I have fitted black rubber grommets and its acceptable, but the bigger hole under the 4" bend is going to be a panel beaters job I reckon. Quite a cavity below the elbow, makes me wonder how the likes of Patrol a part and Millweld sort this out.

Uea thats 2 tanks.
160 main and 90 sub for body lift.
140 main and 70 sub for standard..
I only have 150 atm in factory tanks (modded rear main to fit 110).

Both Brown Davis units, 147 rear and 75 Belly. Good tanks, were expensive at the time I bought them as the price has hardly gone up from 1997 till now, but saying that, they have been trouble free until I fitted the 6.5 and then had issues with the draw from the belly tank - its fitted with a 1/4" outlet hoes whilst the main is 5/16", and the motor starves, so have converted it to transfer fuel back to the main tank, problem fixed.

Even back then, BD had moved to the plated material. I did punch a hole in the rear tank but simply emptied it at home and patched it. The set-up he sold and probably still sells is the multi port selector valve. I have only had one die in all that time, so a very reliable setup.

Got my spare set of Koni's reco'd and swapped them out in the rear - fronts next weekend, too stuffed plus pressure to 'get out from under that bloody car' from 'you know who - the cushion queen'.

Mine has been smashed after the trip and i hate the flat plug.
So will be doing the same and mounting a round plug socket on the bumper..
