Re: SVX Conversion
SVX collected , runs sweet , started fine again this morning .. squeeky belt but not a problem.
next is to get it over to my mates to be stripped and remove engine and wiring loom , still not sure if i will do the loom , or get RJES to do it ...
have done a few looms before on other types of conversions ...
also found a re-con DK box thats not even been used yet ( from cogbox ) so that should be good.

Re: SVX Conversion
Is it going into the Westie ?
Have you got space for a big LPG tank ?

for about 20 miles, you need 70 litreish tank (only 80% fill) to make it a worthwhile 200 mile plus range

Re: SVX Conversion

If you go LPG, fit the biggest tank you can.. unless you dont go far....
