Measured mine this evening and they are a little oval, 36mm at worst and 33mm at best, thickness of metal is harder to measure but seems fairly even. Been trying to press in the lower wishbone bush. tried placing them in hot water but still would not go. Did the upper wishbone bushes with ease. I st...

Thanks, It nice to see one that was worse than mine. Looking at this i think i may be able to set a new 4mm plate in on the rear and use the front to drill out to the 32mm. The existing hole in the front are still round and well with a rough measure about 35mm. May have caught it just in time. Would...

Good afternoon, I'm in the middle of rebuilding the front suspension on my bus and have removed everything and started painting the front end and noticed there is rust around the radius rod mounts. I have taken some photo's after i have used the grinder and paint with rust eater. Near side http://i1...

Day Four Sunday 2ND May 2010. engine start day. just a few jobs to do, fit the new RJES accelerator cable not hard but took 2 hrs, then change the radiator pipes as i had connected the top and bottom pipes the wrong way round, didn't think it mattered bas both go to the bottom of the rad but on read...

Day Three Engine install day! 5 am start http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o44/yw083743/P1010030.jpg Don't forget to install the VW spigot bearing or the gearbox will not fit, this came as part of the RJES bell housing. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o44/yw083743/P1010033.jpg Note the metal spr...

This is now Day Two Friday. Had to get some Gearbox oil and a few bits and drop wife to work so started at 5am and finish at 8.45am collect bits and popped into welder to see how he was getting on after i had dropped it to him on Thursday. he hadn't started it and stated he had no chance of getting ...

Well the engine is in and running, To say it was hard work would be an understatement, i had 3 1/2 days of 5am starts and late finishes with a trip to casualty on day one as i got white spirits in my ear and got a chemical burn so now i can only hear as if I'm under water and have a constant ringing...

Hi Ian, i used a small pipe bender it cost around £8.00 and does 8,10 and 12 mm pipe, with a single bend upwards it cleared RJES manifold. you can see a picture on my posting " a few question on a Subaru conversion". The picture was taken before i re-painted the pipes as this cracked when ...

The way i attacked it was to remove the complete loom label everything even stuff you don't need, i labelled all in the engine bay and front wings to the front radiator but left the cables going to the rear of the car. I then laid it out and stripped all the conduit and tape and temporary taped it t...

Well I'm near to the engine change day, i have installed the loom and run all cables to the correct positions, Installed the VSS sensor to the speedo altered the cabling for the Doom buzzer light IE disconnected the Green cable from the dash console but left connected to the Rev counter. Installed t...

Here are a few pictures of the loom now near to completion, i will try when i get time to do a line diagram detailing the cables needed to connect into the T25, colours and pin numbers may be different but for a guide it may be of use. This as been hard work on the research side, i have spent longer...

Well i think i have sorted all the issues, i have founded after a little help and time surfing a wiring diagram with PIN OUT details for the ECU i have, i found lots but after starting founded they didn't match mine. here a a few link if you are after a wiring diagram. and i have also added photo's ...

Thanks Aidan, i will see how i go i always under estimate how long things take anyway so will see how you are fixed just before i drop the engine. Be nice to sort in one hit and i surpose the additional power from the engine will only force the gearbox into an early grave.

Found the first one, it's a G Meter for the ABS which does link the the Data link connector and the Diagnosis connector. so can i just cut these out or do i need to earth them down?

Well progressing with wiring but have hit a few issues, if anyone can help would be great, problems as follows:- 1) I have a black module thing which i can't identify was fixed to the inside of the off wing and has the following written on it 26740AA040 Nippon ABS Ltd, Don't drop, advance direction....
