The 747
Have a look into the NPC 6x6 clutch. Fair bit cheaper than the viper and should hold fine. They keep them on the shelf.

OK, thanks Chris. I am already in contact with NPC, funny enough they didn't mention this clutch - i have read about it in the same circles as the Viper. Only headache is the chev flywheel drilled for a Nissan clutch pattern, which is different to the Viper, so its either a new flywheel, which they don't carry, or take the flywheel off and either get them to drill and tap it exactly to the new centres or have someone do it, and they can't recommend anyone in Melb to assist. Another long winded trail to success it looks.

Fun fun sounds like it's progressing well. Cornell Diesel was the place I ended going after didn't have the best of luck with Dieseltek. Very happy when it now, loving driving the GQ. . .
Reckon when intake is back together properly should be a lot nicer. .

Yeah, at the moment the joy isn't there yet, have to R&R this PS pump on next roster break, 3 bolts, impossible orientation, probably take a day!

OK, so brand new power steering pump drops all its oil the first time the RPM gets above idle, 5 klm total travelled distance, blows out the front shaft seal and is distributed over the entire engine bay. Contact Brunswick diesel, their response, well I can do you a new one for $750, like WTF. Ever heard of warranty you turkeys? You set the pump up as a sub assemble, I mounted the sub assy and filled it with oil after fixing the hose that was too short, that you supplied, so every 5klm I am expected to shell out $750 for the luxury of power steering? These guys are beyond belief - the conversation will continue but right now they think its a fair situation. When I am done with these guys I will be happy. Oh, and we will sell you a replacement clutch, look after you etc, but won't guarantee it will handle the torque- yep, I better have 5 them at that special 'looked after price', steer away from these guys if you want my opinion.

Its rubbish Nick, total rubbish, and I will expect a call from them tomorrow regards the clutch and see what absolute trilogy they will try and weave.

Have you got a part number for the pump?
There are other ways to get one without paying BD prices.

No, am hoping I will get one today via one of the other FB pages, but then again will try Eagle Auto Spares or the USA Spares mob in Dandenong as they supply to BD, but to be honest they charge like wounded bulls to protect their relationship with BD. Either way I should not be paying, I mean, you can't buy anything new today without it having a warranty.
