    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.

    I take it this is with two tanks? I have 220L on board already across 2 tanks, but lifting the body for the additional 30L wouldn't be justified I reckon for me.

    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).
    What tanks are you running to achieve 220L?
    Cheers

    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'.
