Bought a new h/d Sutton Tapping wrench, finally destroyed 3 wrenches today in fast succession on the tapped holes of the antenna mount - poor man pays twice comes to mind! Also bought a set of the...

Bit more progress, chest infection, again, holding me back, but baby steps get the job done. Finished the pivot mount for the big antenna, then trial fitted the new TRED boxes, ordered another 65L...

If the water is above the outlet level and the hose clamps are tight it can only be a hole in the hose or a hole in the diaphragm of the pump or a torn diaphragm I think? PIA issues, i feel for you.

What are you expecting or wanting to get from the tank and pump? Are you looking to fill a pot or use it for a quick shower or wash mud from a clogged radiator? I think this is the starting point in...

4t jack stands and a set of deep 1/2" drive sockets

Started and completed a pivot bracket for the Codan HF. Allows transport position at 30 deg tilt so it does not get clobbered from trees and branches, then undo 3 bolts and stand it upright with the...

Looking good Mark. I had my staino 4" powder coated, came up really good if you want the black look

Here you go

Its a HF radio, a box full of electronic boards. The antenna is the transmission site and at 100w at 8ft off the ground,1500mm away on the rear of the pod, nothing of any concern. There are no gamma...

Looks good, the extra pipe length would add restrictions in the order of 4 decimal places - not an issue, clever about the drop end to keep the water out. I have never had a problem with my forward...

OK, so the UHF radio goes in the POD as well? I don't think you really thought that comment thru. Maybe i should put the water tank back there as well to save on tire wear on the front wheels? The...

Mark, I have this conversion and I am now sitting in the sweet spot for max economy at 110klm/hr at 1750rpm.Unlike the 85% reduction gears that howl all day in low range the machine finish is...

Its a mounting bracket for a Codan HF radio. Its mostly behind the headrest, but i am going to chamfer the stiffeners to take away the sharp corner - funny what you dont see when you are making it....

Fabricated another custom bracket to mount the Codan HF radio, time consuming and converting ideas into reality - came out well, mounted above the SS water tank behind the rear seat...

Got the rear pod wired 95% today, power to lights, inverter, DCDC, fridge, exhaust fans on thermostats, just need to do the penetration to get the charge cable into the pod - maybe tomorrow. Lights...

I think this refers to the diaphragm valve inside the pump so it sucks in liquid and the valve closes then the diaphragm discharges against the closed seal, pretty normal, there will be a flow arrow...

So you think the issue happened before you installed the 20mm body blocks ? Is there a witness mark on the bonnet or the barrel? Where was it rubbing? Are you sure its not a manufacturing leak? Can...

The diaphragm pump has a poor suction capability, which is why they only rate the discharge head. You will do better lowering the inlet of the pump to the same level as the tank outlet, then it...

The kits are optioned up like crazy, simply select which one you want, some are twice the complexity. Its all 4mm pipe and the only weakness V the strength is there are 3 mounts , so I have purchased...

Thanks for reminding me Darren, I have one of those also, bugger, would have been done in 15 minutes. Those tom thumb units are a bitch.

Looks like I am up for a new or remodelled interchiller tank. The location of the tank outlet was deliberately put at 1/3 off the bottom of the tank to reduce any drawdown of crap into the pump...

Looks great, very neat, well done.

Interchiller wiring finally resolved, bigger cables, big relay, runs beautifully, see if it delivers, swapping out the water or glycol this arvo.

The heat exchanger is on the rear of the fridge, the jackets provide the insulation to the sides and top.

Sorted the Interchiller pump out today, conductor size and volt drop. Rigged up a 200a/hr lithium and short heavy cables, fired the pump up, guaranteed 40lpm by the flowmeter thru the system, happy...
