Hey, Thanks for the feedback. Bottom line is that I just wanted to purchase one and keep the one I have as is so I can get the set up prepared without having much if any down time. Does anyone know where these inlets can be bought from?

I am in touch with a guy in Tamworth who has a GQ Optimiser conversion, originally n/a, then he turbo'd it locally. He has a monster top mount intercooler setup. I can get the name of the guys who did his turbo install for you. His installation was a bit of coin from memory, but you might be able to buy just the adapter. Making a custom is as simple as defining a couple of dimensions, then leave it to the sheetie. Anyway I will PM you his details, really nice old guy, very helpful.

Thanks heaps for that. I have a guy that can probably build an alloy unit, more I think of it, this might be the way to go. In my naive thought pattern I just assumed they would be a stock item for the Chev diesel. If you do have the contact fo the Tamworth guy I would be appreciative.

Kindest regards

Now that looks like a nice body conversion. Something I am wanting to do one day myself to enlarge the cab.

Out of curiosity what is the lock pins holding in?

Cheers Rainsey, bought it from WA already converted by Laingley, they do a nice job that mob! The lock pins secure the tray on as I'm in the process of making multiple use trays for work, home and play. Installed a rear on-air Firestone sus system last year so I can leg under each tray with dolley wheels and deflate for quick drive out tray swap overs in the shed.

Looks good Mark. Certainly welcome. Looks like it will be 2 nights on Caledonia and 2 on the Mcallister on butcher country track as the fishing is probably going to be better on the bigger river
