Finally finished the inner arch the welding is not that pretty combination of galvanised panels and upside down welding but it’s strong and once the seam sealer and under seal is applied it won’t notice plus it’s underneath onto the rear xmember next then down the other side 701DFF4E-EF5C-4AA8-A6E4-...

I have done away with the rear heater unit running all those pipes especially the water ones seems like a problem waiting to happen hoping to run a bit of trunking from the front heater/air con and connect into the head level vents to blow some heat or cold for the second class occupants in the back...

I would imagine if you’re leaking from that pipe your air on won’t work front or back. I would be super surprised if ordering a new one is possible would it be worth finding where the pipe is leaking from and solder a sleeve in

got a battery for the tester and my sensor reads 1298 i think between 800-2000 is the norm so should be ok

I thought the only Reliability issues with the diesel bongo is cooking the head otherwise it’s a pretty basic engine transmission seems ok. space wise me and the missus only slept in the roof as I would have the track bike in the van because we mainly go to Spain.

Went to check resistance and my meter died

If someone knows the original resistance I’ll check them

There is a dust seal so it looks like it has a sliding joint just need length now

Does the 4wd rear prop have a sliding joint and is it the same length as the 2wd

What about one of the Ford v6 engines I think one revs to about 8.6k tweak it a bit at least it would be a bit more relaxed than a steroid 300 horse il4

Had to replace a lot of the steel underneath the rear heater I had already decided to do away with it just because all the additional pipe work for the heater and air con just seemed like a problem waiting to happen so hoiked it all out welded in new metal and can’t believe the amount of space you c...

Connectors arrived today bit disappointed they are slightly smaller so I ran a Stanley between the 2 pins and slid a Packer in between and it fits I’ll put a dab of silicon around the water sealing seal when it goes on for good got some photos 0BA46C45-83E4-40CE-A8F6-71F551F3940B.jpeg 62581F83-983E-...
