Re: Only getting 12 volts at the split charge relay.

You should be able to get a voltage reading at the alternator on the stud that the big red wire is attached to.
You are testing the split charge relay with the vehicle running? Just to clarify.

Re: Radiator fan not going off

Sounds like the fan relay may be sticking on perhaps. Does it stay on even if you unplug the new thermostatic switch in the radiator?

Re: Fuel tank difference

I have an AGG in my Gipsy using a diesel tank and just stepped the hose size up to the EFI pump with an adapter. Been on there 4 yrs and no issues at all with fuel starvation or cavitation.

Re: Fuel tank difference

Why are you looking to increase the outlet?
Are you doing an engine conversion?

Re: Missing an alternator bracket stud

Looking at the wear on the remaining stud I’d say the bracket has been moving about somewhat. I have had some success in the past by plenty of plus gas and drilling a hole and tapping an old torx bit in the hole to remove what’s left of the stud. I would avoid eazyouts though as they are very brittl...

Re: Brake lights late to come on..

Would it not make sense to replace the connector first as the switch may be ok and just the burnt out terminal causing the issues?
I’d be tempted to rig a temporary connection using crimp on spade terminals and see what happens before spending out, but I am tight as f**k🤣

Re: Any hope for Aircooled MPG?

Mocki wrote: 01 Oct 2022, 14:59 It’s not a matter of the price of the conversion, its more that the Aircooled option of heating the vaporiser is not COP11 compliant.
Making it very difficult to get it certified

Would it not be possible to heat the vaporiser with hot engine oil diverted from the filter with a sandwich plate?

Re: Bumper paint code

My 1990 Tristar bumpers are LH7D Claas Grey.
Maybe have a look at that colour?
