Ralph, BD supply a cheap in line filter pre the lift pump. I change this every 5000klm with the oil. I also run a 100um pre strainer down near the fuel tank, which is fitted with a 12v heater mat for the colder month trips. I run a CAV filter with clear glass bowl in the engine bay for final filtration and change this every 5000klm at oil change time as well.. I tried to duplicate this filtration at the fuel tank end, however had to 'retreat' to the strainer as the lift pump would not suck and push thru 2 CAV filters. When I remove the bowl to inspect it, first did this at 1000klm, at first oil change, it was clean and now water of scum/sediment, so happy with this set up for now.
I bought a spare lift pump off BD and they charged me $250. I checked the model and could buy the same pump ex USA for $80 including freight. I can dig out the model for you if interested, but will be tomorrow as its in my spares box under the truck. I think it is rated at something like 150LPHR at 12PSI - apologise for the mix of units.

My rig has a standard el cheapo $20 inline 12 Volt pump.
Connected to a standard el cheapo $5 Ryco inline throw away 'pre' filter.
Which pumps into a $120 Donaldson 3 Micron Filter/Water Seperator

Thanks Ralph, correct you are mate! Just checked the military manual for pre-2000’s and it also says 7.6L including filter. My current extra 1.0L is including the existing crappy cooler and lines I should have written. As before I want more ‘total’ in this old gal :-)

I believe mine is all old stock/original TD42 gear mate. Lift pump on chassis rail appears OEM, Filter is (your old mob) Bosch 1 457 434 281 which I believe is OEM Nissan too.

Found this helpful little guide from Dayco USA confirming ET’s Amps versus Belt selections. Was recently toying with the idea of a 6 rib/groove short Holden serpy to the beasty alt but perfect alignment is looking trickier than first thought. Back to the drawing board with Dual Vee’s me thinks now!

Anybody had a recent conversion that can tell me wether the Brunswick radiator is now alloy or old style bronze. Been quoted 1500 to replace my radiator which is leaking.

Did BD supply this? I think thats the question, do they supply the copper or the alloy? They certainly manufacture their own copper/bronze/brass radiators, which was all I was offered when I had the conversion done.
By the way Ralph, how are you progressing with the P400 installation - all done, on the road, happy?

Yes it was through BD cost was $1545, my builder recommended the ADRAD also.
Project P400 is not on the road yet, will get update this week. Has been slow mainly due to commitments on both sides.
