Well , just bought a SVX ! , need to collect this week , then stripping begins.

then a phone call to JRES after that.

Matt

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.

ordered a new patent fuel tank today , not sure how people have found the fit of these ? but as i want to weld it (put scooby fuel pump in it ) i thought it best

located a re-con DK gearbox from cogbox.

engine is coming out the SVX Thursday

Is it going into the Westie ?

Have you got space for a big LPG tank ?

is it not possible to run off the westy LPG tank ?

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

thought so ... aint much room under a westy for a bigger tank ...

Matt

stick a tank in the bottom of the wardrobe area

only a leisure tank but dead space otherwise
mike

might be dead space , allthough you dont see how much my wife takes

Matt

it seems smaller than when its in the car ....

time for a good clean up , remove unwanted items , and then onto the wiring....

Matt

who thinks i am going to need to fit a CAT when i am done ?

Matt

no cat required.. need the lambda though....
If you go LPG, fit the biggest tank you can.. unless you dont go far....
