Harrop 2300 supercharger to Optimiser 6500

OK, another successful day, welded in the PSR front spring tower braces - more or less a band across the front and around the outside of the spring tower. I also have internal braces to fit when I get around to it. Attachment 80929Fitted the pass side rear chassis brace plates, simply ran out of time for the drivers side - tomorrow will do. These plates are on the outside of the chassis rail. I also have the front internal braces to do tomorrow with luck. They are on the inside of the chassis rail - everything fitted beautifully.Attachment 80930Attachment 80931. Sorted out the heater gap as well, used some double sided foam with adhesive, worked well, should get another 20 years out of it I reckon.

1) Finished off the remaining chassis stiffener plates on the outside, now onto the front ones that are on the inside. 2) Reworked the air compressor mount bracket to incorporate the air receiver, waiting on the final fittings and the ARB air line kit to arrive. 3) Did the research on the electronic corrosion systems avail and the one that stood out was the Couplertec, so purchased a 6 pad commercial unit, made for 8T trucks, and has a bigger power rating than the domestic/4wd system sold. Mounted the pads today and the control head, just need to run the cables next (Photos of the damage to @Rossco and the fella in NZ scare the hell ourt of me to be honest, so I will give this a go and see what happens - if anything. 4) Also finally sorted out a device to work like a throttle cable for cold start/fast idle stuff like running the coffee machine or the winches, am chopping down a GQ choke cable assy - should be hours of fun getting that right!

Sortd out the fast idle mechanism, used the 'blind bally string' and an indent set-up on a mount bracket. Each ball position equates to an increase in idle speed by 400rpm. simple, works well, but have a sore head trying to get it sorted out.

Also installed the Couplertec system today. not difficult, will see how it performs.

Took the beast out for a drive to visit the Xmas Hill bandits @MB and @AB, and the vehicle runs like a swiss watch, and so much grunt and response, its great fun to drive, really happy where this has landed. Just waiting on the new pump and the picture should be complete.Attachment 80959

OK, tacked the inner 3 out of 4 plates into position today. Brunswick have caught me out again as they run the exhaust so tight against the pass side chassis rail the plate wont fit. Wife is at a course tomorrow so will have a look at it. Will look at welding them out tomorrow.Attachment 80969Attachment 80970

Couple of shots of the led light bar mounted under the bonnet, throws a heap of light, certainly enough for under bonnet initial inspections. First shot is with the light OFF

Phil you have really done a great job cleaning up the engine bay.
Looks much better now than this pic I sneaked in a little while ago.

You guys are both cheeky bugger monkeys - absolutely no slack with you guys. Have to admit though it is still quite full. but a bit more orderly. reckon there is $400 of corrugated cable sheathing thru the car now.

Hahahahaha that wiring pic as funny as 🤣

Hey Sprocky Doodle, how are you getting on? I hope work has picked up or are you slammed up in quarantine like the rest of us?

Wasn't happy with the bend radius of the W2A hoses so installed 10 off these on the critical bends to keep the bore circular and reduce pressure drop/maintain highest flow rate possible. Install this temp gauge setup on the gearbox and transfer case, selected a bolt that was about half way up the bolt pattern and out of harms way. I have further insulated over the top of each sensor to take away any heat loss caused from wind effect. Finished off the fog lights and after 30 mins of jinking around with nader happening, found it was a faulty Narva Isolation switch - now you don't see that too often, anyway, substitute switch found but need a small plastic switch tab in the dash - off to PAP for that.
