Ian seems pretty happy with the Type R we knocked up for him, valve blocks will be quite as a mouse providing you port the motor correctly, regardless of location.

Jim, you know all my toys are from hard work so dont give me that one ya lazy sod - all you need to do is 20 hour days for 4-5 months at a time :shh: one old NBC welder and a budget of fek all; one rusty turd add tarpaulin, snow, rain and a 30 degree incline and go trophy raiding.. My...

erm... mostly I have... Esab LAU 400 Migatronic 450 with KT320 wire drive Miller Aerowave AC/DC Tig Ready Welder Ally Spool gun Single phase Butters Mig Oxy acteylene Oxy Propane Arc :oops: I wouldnt mind a dual gun Miller Dynasty mig 8-) for home use I'd recommend an old NBC or Butters...

King One (they're the Chinese company that make the winches that Bowyer rebadges in the UK) do a pretty good hydro winch as well, as a rule look for a drive ratio of 6:1 Red winches look like a waste of money to me :shock:

if it were mine I'd check its true and skim if needed (never know with a secondhand head), decoke ports and polish, check valve seats and lap in if needed, new valve stem seals, re-shim the valve clearances :idea:

I may have done a bit of winching in the past Jim but I still prefer driving - its faster ;) ok - pto power is going to be pretty slow and limit you in terms of flexibility (ie drive assist) without going to megabore feed hoses/valve blocks etc and in the real world thats not really an...

ok, looking at the data sheet its a complete Milemarker copy, even the the gear ratios are 6:1 and 1:1 so that makes things easy Bin the standard motor - its not even going to be good as a paperweight Go shopping for an SAE2 bolt flange, 6 spline, 1" shaft motor, the CC per Rev depends on...

How fast would sir like to pull and how much power would you like to deploy? If you could ping me a link or datasheet for the Ox winches I can do a bit of finger counting for you Cheers Jez

it'll be going everywhere Jim - how did the big day go? (congrats by the way! :clap: )

that makes sense Jon - Ive got a Miller Aerowave that cost me quite a few organs that apparently the medical profession view as "essential" although the plumbing section at B&Q seems to be holding up at the mo, if you want to get your hand in my suggestion is college or a cheap scratch start DC...

you might get an old Synchrowave to do it, they have selectable input to suit various US mains configurations but the cabling required is going to be monster! the alternative is a Ready welder, 3 car batteries will get you there 8-) we use them out in the woods to glue all sorts of stuff together

thanks Jon, depending on the weld its up to 350amps

Thanks guys, the grill is a bit of a throwback to our race trucks and good for confusing/annoying people - Im just waiting for the green oval sticker that says "Land Cruiser" to turn up from one of the fellas up the road 8-)

Hi, my name is Jez, Im one of the House of Flying Spanners and I've just bought a 1990 HDJ80, UK spec VX with manual gearbox and a 4.2 turbo diesel when bought it had already been "modified" by the previous owner and had a side exit exhaust that only the mechanical version of Jack the Ripper...
