bit of an update, taking it back for cert on monday.
Got the pto finished an working so bought some new rope
35m of plasma goodness :mrgreen:
Image
Wound it on this avo, drums about 2/3 full so could probably fit about 50m if needed :lol:
Image
My electric fan an its rubbish shroud wasnt cutting it so I bought a 16" flex fan with a viscous hub, put it on last weekend an made a sheetmetal shroud for it out of 1.6mm panel steel. Made it in 2 pieces to make it easier to take on an off.

Looking good Fakey, you'll love the plasma.. I switched on a 24hr challenge and it's like.. sooo easy,strong,light blah blah compared to steel.. But like steel when you leave the pto ingauged.. steel will snap and plasma won't..lol so make sure the pto is off or you'll do what I did and rap the whole front bar work in through the fairlead.. :shock: not cool..lol but bloody funny..
Looking good too btw.. 8)

Havent updated this in a while, still got a few things to do for cert.
Replaced the dying GM p/steer pump with the original pump off the diesel engine. Didnt take any pics cos the new mount is somewhat agricultural :lol: but atleast now ive got power steering :lol:
Still on the to do list: source new front rotors an better pads for the brake test, refit the flares that got torn off in the Akas a few weekends ago,clean out an readjust the hand brake, wash the rest of the mud out of the centre of the clutch :oops:
Get a new set of front springs

Go in and have a chat to the guys at BNT. Tell them what you are after and they will be able to suggest something.
