here are some pics If I can remember right its a 50L tanks 650 dia 220 high. The bash plate will not go back on, I did think about finding a tank to sit inside the bash plate instead of the tyre but it would be horizontal. http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy22/akira28/SAM_0369.jpg http://i774.phot...

Just fitted a LPG tank in the same space but as a secondary fuel tank with liquid take off. Had to remove the bash plate / tyre holder. Made a new frame to hold tank out of 6 x 25 mild. The tank is a singe hole Stako which you cold easily modify the pick up pipe. Works a treat and almost doubled the...

Be carefull even in first, bump started the van and must admit was a bit quick with cutch. Left small fridge on.
50 miles later strange noise and dead pinion.
Would have saved £1000 for spare pinion/crown & rebuild if I had brought a £10 battery saver from Maplins Doh!

One came adrift on my van so made a small press to fit it back in. Drove 100 miles with the rubber out of the eye and no damage was done, apart to my nerves! http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy22/akira28/DSC01896.jpg It was a while ago but if i recall correctly I put the bush on ARB then used the ...

As I am after some rear exhaust hangers for my DJ, they do lots of very shiny stuff including tank straps.

Can anyone recommend them?

Just a quick question to all those who have fitted alloys to your syncro's, Did you have to extend the studs or drill out the alloys? Just a glimer off hope so I don't have to dismantle the front & rear hubs.

Deaks did you have to remove the crankshaft pulley to get your pipe out? cause I have just replaced the water pump then sprung a leak from the same pipe (025121151) afer 10 miles (big cloud of steam) So have the dilema which to remove water...

How do check the Caster Simon? Changed the radius arms on mine and it was about 1 Degree out as well as the Camber. They adjusted the caster and that brought the Camber back. Do you go by a standard measurment on the radius arms.
