The Landrover Cummins (12v 6BT) Conversion

[darrenjlobb]

Never seen anyone use silicone pipe inside a sump before!

Nice work on the conversion, looks ace

To be fair, its not ideal, and its not acaully what I intend on leaving there...but dont have any steel tube of the correct length at the moment.

The hose is VERY heavy duty / steel wrapped and oil / diesel rated, but the "outside" of the hose in theory isn't, so although would last years I wouldn't recommend it.

We have an oil pressure gauge to mount to keep eye on it, and will weld up a proper suction tube at some point once its up and running!

Bit more work today, gear stick was needed, using original ZF box from the DAF, so used to have cable setup / no use at all i a landrover where you need a stick right out the box.

Top of the ZF:



So made up an adapter plate to sit between the two halves: (Yup, last two bolt holes torched out with plasma cutter due to epic fail in the pillar drill department!!!!




Stripped down the OEM tower / lever:



Welded the ZF ball on the end and extended the lever:



Then mounted it all up:



OEM+ hehe
