No noteworthy updates, sorry folks. The project is still ongoing don't worry.

It was sitting in storage for a few months whilst they cleared other large projects and conversions. The 130 was though trailered back to their small garage as of 3 weeks ago to restart work - council planning and ecology studies have been holding up access to their new much larger workshop Sad

Got no progress pics either as I'm now back in the north of Scotland Sheep Stuart

Yawn





Huuaahh! Shocked

Thread resurrection.

The Cummins is officially in and mounted.

Can't say I am overwhelmed with how long it has taken to get to this milestone, but we are here nonetheless. Snigger

Their new mechanic has his own Cummins 90, so is applying all his lessons learnt on mine. Very Happy

Little bit of bulkhead modification required around the drivers side footwell as expected for the starter motor and then a widened transmission tunnel for the air assisted clutch.

Only bit of chassis modification required was a slight trim to a web stiffener on one of the crossmembers for the hand brake drum.

They attempted to start it last week but it's either a 24 V starter or it just requires some serious CCA, hopefully the latter. Either way, it melted their cables so some serious copper is on order along with 2 new starter batteries.

Further, the 130 is apparently provisionally booked for bodywork and paint late next month.

Can't lie in saying that I didn't lose a fair amount of interest in this project given the delays to works and my new grocery getter, but that's going in storage for the winter so a 130 under the Christmas tree would be ideal.

What else is there to tell...?

Apparently the "new" turbo that came mounted to it is far from "new" and will require change out. Holset he351 was the suggestion.

Front radius arms which have a castor correction need to be swapped out for standard arms as the prop exit angle from the front diff means the prop will clatter into the gearbox bell housing with the front suspension under compression.

The engine mounted air compressor has been removed on the understanding that it is obnoxiously loud. Instead an engine bay mounter Viair 485C electric compressor will be installed.

That is it for now - no promises on the next update... Stuart

That is a big move forward and having a mechanic doing the install that also has the cummins under his bonnet is a bonus in my book Very Happy 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

Looks great, I guess you havent got to the state yet of thoughts on an exhaust system?

Banks do some good kit, but being Defender fit probably bespoke. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
