Unboxed the new radiator. Will be fitting a power steering oil cooler to the radiator as well.

If M10x1.25 doesn't seem to be the right fit, it's possible that you might need a different thread size. You could try checking the threading of the existing bolts or consulting a mechanic or hardware store for assistance. Alternatively, you might want to look into getting a thread gauge to accurat...

Trial fix for relay location.

Busy morning. Jimny steering box fitted, adjacent radiator support fitted with no clash.
Rockwatt inlet manifold fitted together with cooling hoses.
Fitting for relays trial fitted. Start made on replacing all fuel and brake lines.

I am intending to upgrade the existing Alternator with an 80 amp version.
Bracket will require modification to ensure a fit.
Plan to remove one leg and move it inwards allowing some tolerance in dimensions.
Anyone had to do similar? All comments welcome. Thanks.

2. Tried preliminary position for auxiliary fuse box.

80 amp circuit breaker and oil catch tank positioned.
Before anyone asks the question a blue tank was delivered. Red would have been preferred.

Bit more wiring done. New cable to starter. 50amp breaker connected into loom, replacing the previous owners 'modification', connection to battery prepared but not fitted as yet. Ignition block in place.

Some positive activity today. Decided to go with the Volvo electric power steering system with an oil cooler behind the radiator. Had purchased some connectors for the heavy duty cables which I fitted. Will be using an 80amp breaker in the circuit. Fitted a connector to the existing grey/blue wire o...
