Harrop 2300 supercharger to Optimiser 6500

You gotta let me know how this unit goes. For years I've only had an analogue unit with a shunt you have to place in series. It works but is a PIA.

Supplier accepted the order then wants to clip me harder on the delivery - never ends. They want another $160 for an expedited shipping or $40 without a guarantee for a British Express Postal service. I doubt I will have the unit by Oct 6 at this rate. I am waiting for a response from the seller about what the slow delivery period is looking like.

This may be cheap and nasty but is in the country ready to go if you want to flip a coin.

Thanks Criag, I bought the unit , the cheapie as a stop gap measure, might arrive in time, who knows, 20amp should cover most loads. I have resolved the postage with the UK mob, and paid the $35 additional postage via UK Mail, simply in hope it arrives in time, plus if its right on the departure date, I can take the new fuses and tester and use the 80amp tester in transit for surety.

Bought a Makita 700nm 1/2" drive impact, genuine article, man alive its heavy like a Milwaukee. Used it to swap out the tires from Kumho to BFG HD Terrains, nice tool. Assembled the tools kit for the trip and some consumables, starting to add up in weight, so have distributed across the other two vehicles in the trip. Need to have a look at the cruise control as its a long way without it and its probably just a simple adjustment - its a vac/electric system, originally fitted with the conversion but a belt failure mangled it up a long time ago.

Wheel brg to check, all grease nipple grease and diff/gearbox/transfer case levels to check, then ready for the a/c check and away from Oct 7 to Nov 4, cant wait, been a long time coming it seems.

Have a great trip Phil!

What amperage is the system actually using, Phil? Something like this might help you if it is over the 10 amps that most multimeters can measure. this isn't local though.

Damn you Craig. you just cost me money.... Although there are some much cheaper ones for under $30 which i might opt for as they look to be similar.

OK, another day in the garage, new BFG HD Terrains on.

Booked the Birdsville recovery package just now, sorting thru the food and utensils boxes for the purge and repack into the new rear format. Getting real.Attachment 88334Attachment 88335Attachment 88336

Booked the truck back into the A/C guy, not cooling, reckon there is still a leak - $720 was the last bill and they replaced over 15 o'rings, must have missed one as the blower temp is ambient plus a bit. Going in Oct 4, heai\ding off Oct 7

They are a far more aggressive tyre than the KM3. Way Chunkier. Th tread looks deeper too. Can you measure the depth of tread please Phil. Have a cracking trip mate.

Its sneaking up really quick now. I told work I was off line as of COB Wed, have car into the a/c guy to find out why the $720 service I had done on the system, is now empty of gas after he supposedly replaced every o'ring in the system. Dividing up the tools and spares into 3 boxes this morning to distribute across the other vehicles - thats a saving of maybe 40kg from my car.

Bit of rain still about, Madigan Camps 16 onwards appear to be still closed, so may have to detour down the Hay River track instead, will see once we get to mt Dare and also if the road closed sign is still up - might try to call'someone' who can tell us definitely what the status is.
