Other bits and pieces
Donaldson filter housing.
The filter got its final place at the back on the left hand side of the vehicle. It fits very tight in there but at least it is very high from ground level, so I think it is safe to assume that the chances of water intake due to wading is very slim. I will however fit a snorkel in due course.
The angle is a bit skew but this is to show the filter housing and the inlet manifold. They are very close together. I needed a pipe 85mm from the filter housing tapered down to 55mm to attach it to the inlet manifold.
I Could not find a pipe anywhere that tapers down by such a big margin, so this is what I did:
I bought a rubber pipe 100mm long with an internal diameter of 85mm and another 100mm long and 55mm i.d. I took the 55mm i.d. pipe and wrapped fiberglass on the outside till the outside fits snug into the 85mm pipe. So now the link between the inlet manifold and the air filter comprises a joint between the two pipes which is still air- and water tight.
Accelerator linkage.
As the original linkage consisted of rods and I did not want to change any existing system on the vehicle, I decided to make a similar linkage system to fit and work on the diesel pump linkage. I bought a piece of threaded rod (6mm) and two attachments. Thereafter it was just a matter of bending and maneuvering the rod and links to obtain a good throttle movement on the pedal. At least now I also have the option to fit a hand throttle to the diesel pump via the choke cable!
Fuel filter.
I placed the fuel filters together with the hand primer on the right of the vehicle. This seemed to be the obvious place as the fuel line runs from the tank on the right of the vehicle. No need to have fuel lines going across and back over or under the engine. I have since replaced the hand primer with an electrical fuel pump as I was continuously getting air in the diesel system and it gave me endless problems.
Oil Filter
The replacement oil filter is a FRAM PH2823 Filter. (Just in the event somebody needs the info.)
Vacuum tank.
I had to install an additional vacuum reservoir tank between the brake booster and the alternator. The alternator is now supplying the vacuum for the brakes and not the intake manifold. As the suction of the alternator pump is not as strong as the suction of the inlet manifold an additional vacuum tank was fitted to ensure braking even after the third application of brakes.
The orange canisters are the fuel filters, one is just a filter and the other has a water trap. The black cylindrical object above them is the additional "vacuum" tank that is connected to the brake booster.
Exhaust
I had a free flow exhaust made up, again to make sure it will be relatively easy to swap back to original. The existing exhaust is being kept in a safe location.
This picture shows the alternator, it's not the alternator that came with the engine as the service and repair costs are exorbitant. I had to make small extension brackets to be able to fit the alternator.(Those small pieces that go up from the original bracket.)
