for the wheel bearings it used to have 2 nuts and a thin bit of metal you would bend. now its a nut and a plate that has screws to hold it togetherQuote:

hooray my brake proportional valve started leaking.
now you have some more to do ... remember 'if it has wheels or............

once this is all done i can fix the a/c and rear suspension bushes, deck out the back redo the rear bar.

Is the boost electronic controlled on that turbo?
Is it too big of a turbo for the TD? I noticed it required spacers at the manifold.
the manifold had a t3 size flange the turbo has a t25. needed an adapter to fit.Quote:

Stress less, welding looks fine Garret Old Mate, don’t forget She’s an oily diesel 4.2TD residue weapon now too [emoji123][emoji123][emoji23]
Did use to have issues on old mild steel radius bend welded Landcrab 2F petrol homemade headers and LPG doing some sort of crystallisation degradation of dodgey welds my nuffy self [emoji12]

well the flange is stainless, radius mild, straight is stainless back to aluminized steel ... i tig welded it.Quote:

ok so i'm down to bleeding the fuel system, priming the turbo with oil, adding coolant, oil change, make a coolant bottle, make the intercooler fit somehow. and connect the new senders.
re run diff breather and vacuum line. move the ac hoses/get the ac working, rear suspension bushes, fit the kitchen make the boxes over the rear guards......
and now fix the power steering belt tensioner.
What did you chose for the new instruments (assuming the new senders are for new ones)?

can anyone guess what this is for ?

My honest apologies for sounding nasty and do love your work [emoji736][emoji106]
Genuinely concerned though about firewall issues of flex & impact between the mounting extremities, hopefully I’m just being a worry wart [emoji1696]
Not sure what brand your stainless 4” clamps on your Beaut air intake system are too? I had bought similar looking, anti-seize sticked every single one during installation on my setup and still found over 50% were galled, so deliberately replaced the entire lot for future maintenance ease [emoji51]

Garrett, I think the load on the very small steel sections will let you down. There isn't much deflection strength in this assy, the welds at the RHS to Angle interface will fatigue very early. The frame is going to be subject to every vertical motion and I will say its a great concept but ultimately wont last the distance. Anyway give it a whirl I guess but I hope it does not come adrift in some awkward location and do further damage.
I got no idea what it is just yet but @MB I don’t see much impact strength in that flat bar section.
What the deuce is it anyway Garrett?
Plassy, its a mount frame for an intercooler coil

I dont think the frame size has enough column strength and the frame is not substantial enough to resist much MB, its a fairly flimsy configuration I think, looking at the mount location its in the center of the firewall with only a single 90 deg column, 25mm rhs - they should be OK I reckon. If anything it will fold up pretty easily I think.Quote:

the frame is less substantial then the bonnet and the engine block, am running some bracing under the joins, hopefully it lasts long enough so i can save up for a proper kit.
put coolant in it and fresh oil. replaced the filters, wired the cooling fan for the intercooler, painted the frame and made a exhaust manifold shield.
just got to sort from the inter cooler to the manifold.. then do all the prestarts.
i fired it up today.... need to sort a catch can.
it idles a bit high.. 800 cold it used to be 600.
at idle it got to 100 deg exhaust temp only ran it for 15 mins or so to bleed coolant etc.

well i took it for a trip around the block... manages to hit 500c at about 110 when i lift... got the alarm at 550c
tops out at about 1.4 bar
may need to get this thing tuned
does anyone know anywhere in Adelaide that is good at tuning a td42 ?
doing the rear bushes and one of the nuts picked up the thread.
hopefully this stops it from pulling left under throttle.(half of the bushes were busted)
this leaves only the rear panhard that isn't new.
