Universal cut to length ones are a fair bit cheaper still too.

Pretty sure Clough42 uses a rotary encoder to sync..
Check out his YouTube, has a full series about it.

Lucas ACR alternator is def internally regulated.
Should still be pretty cheap and easy to get a brand new replacement.

You'll need some rubber garden edging and rivets to cover the tread if you go narrow.
/I'd probably suck it up and get the 4x4 patch panels and zap them on if it was mine.

And the genuine parts search option on WeBike
https://japan.webike.net/oem_parts/top/
Often use CMSNL to find the part numbers, then buy from WeBike.

Bit of mucking about to set up, but they can work really well.
I'll be putting one on my next rotary valve build.

Our surf was the shape before but (apparently) the viscous fans on these is a weak point. More Barry surf’s might know more.
Yeah can change to a thicker fluid in them, mine was fucked that even with super heavy fluid it wouldn't lock up.
Thankfully it only cost me a head gasket and a gasket set etc rather than the brand new head to figure that out.
Brand new one was cheap enough that I shouldn't have bothered trying to mess about changing the oil.
Also the 10 blade fan from late model 1KD Hilux is a big upgrade from the stock 7 blade, @GuyWithAviators is the man to talk to about them.

Injector rebuild ASAP.
Even with an immaculately clean cooling system a sad injector will easily take out the head, learnt that the hard way.

That's actually a really good question that I'll try figure out tonight/tomorrow after work!
I know there's at least some droop, but yeah no idea how much.
-
That's a smart idea!
Current plan is a combo of trying that along with raising the rear 10mm.
Them alignment with minimal petrol in and cert with a full tank for the extra weight haha

That sheet is in degrees and minutes- that means 2°30' is your max not 2.50°
Ah so that's the minutes he was talking about!
There was some confusion when I was talking about bushings or arms that give X° adjustment and he was saying they'd give "probably X minutes"
19 minutes ago, cletus said:I'd just raise it a whisker and avoid having to buy arms
So you're saying raise it up to 4% for cert, then it'll still be compliant with the +/- 5% variance when I drop it back down and fit camber bushings later right?
Think 4% is about 13mm at the guard.
I was talking to Mike Reid on Tuesday, seemed good to deal with on the phone at least, but he def made it sound like I'd be wasting my time taking it to him if the sheet is even a hair over the .50°, "but Euros have a huge factory allowance so you'll be fine with it slammed" lol

Yeah knew the 0.50° max over stock.
Think it's the MIN being a full degree more than MAX on the specifications that's thrown me off.
Tyre shop reckoned I needed to get rid of about 2°00' rear, about 0.5° from the fronts/think he was more concerned about the fucked rack end.
Edit: been a long day and my brain was stuck in neutral haha
Clicked that it's negative numbers so -2 is smaller than -1, looking at it I'm thinking it's within cert specs, I'm allowed -2°50' rear for cert going by that min being -2°00'
So I'm all good right?The right rear toe is going to be a case of teaching the alignment guy how to adjust "not adjustable" Merc rear toe/probably have to take my triple square sockets down to do it but should be easy enough.
Then 1.25° rear camber bushings and factory option front adjustment bolts can be added later without effecting cert to try save tyres a bit more.
-
Any issue with either of these for cert?
Lol just realised after posting, they appear to be the exact same arms just with different sticker.
Went for pre-cert alignment today, if I'm lucky front camber can be brought into line with genuine Merc adjustment bolts and raising the coilovers maybe 10mm.
Rear needs something like 2° less negitive camber, caster just squeaked in spec.Oh unrelated but one of the inner tierods is pulling out of the rack so that's fun.
Edit: I've been told by a couple people that should be within cert spec for camber, what's your professional thoughts @cletus

I've been running Goodrides for years now, normally get a year/2 wofs from the fronts pair, couple years from the rears (van life, it eats front tyres).
Find them very predictable in the wet and more than enough grip for my Hiace in the dry.
Also fuck Zetum tyres, never again ha- 1

You can, Mrs @Alfashark is the person to talk to from memory.
I put it in the too hard basket as there's a lot of fucking about with the receipts etc to claim it.

I was always told by my old boss and the engine machine shop we used to run plain water only until 50k after re-torque (we mostly worked on old school cars), then coolant.
The MLS gaskets I've more recently fitted are a "minimum of 400km" using plain water.

Keep an eye on SCA for XA welders, they clearanced out all Cig stock a few months ago and I've just seen my local has stocked up with Xcel-Arc accessories, asked and they said they'll have welders etc soon.

Fuck RA need to tell some of the places that drop ship for them to step up their packaging game!
Had an alternator delivered today, 2 little bags of air that had popped/never been inflated in the main box.
Nothing at all in the inner box.
Reg plug barely hanging on and a few dings in the alloy.
At least the refund process is super easy.
Edit: less than an hour later the refund is in my PayPal/on the way to my bank account.

Probably Y30 on would have those, all my 430's a H190 - Ive got a D21 Terrano diff still in the chassis that would be ok, disc brake rear.
Yeah my old RD28 Y30 has one, I got a R200 to swap the centre in but the seller was lying about it being an LSD and I lost all enthusiasm about doing it lol

Another cheaper option would be a C200. (Solid axle version of a shortnose R200) being 6 stud makes them pretty worthless.
Can get them in 5 stud too from Glorias etc.
