bj40 build...

[sig]

bugger the easier way instead of trimming is to unbolt the mastercyclinder from the booster and rotate it 180 degrees then bolt it back together .this worked for mine

[niblik]

i thought that myself yep, but i wasnt sure if there was seals to disturb and i knew it worked fine from the donor vehicle so wasnt too keen on playin with it too much..

took your suggestion onboard... cheers



much better...

[SMOKEY]

Nib's, just looking at your radiator pics, can't tell by photo have you got the radiator rubber mounted . If so good boy, if not sit it on cotton reel rubber mounts ( I could supply ) and some rubber mounting on the stays. With all the power and torque the 3B will put out you will find it hard to contain the VIBRATIONS.

I HOPE JAFFA TIDY'S HIS POS UP BEFORE PARKING ALONG SIDE YOURS AT RR09, DON'T WANT HIM LETTING THE SIDE DOWN,

FITZY.

[wopass]

not fair ! ! ! i cant see pics !!! work has a block on phot bucket!!



its like watching porn with your eyes shut...you can do it but its not as much fun !

[SMOKEY]

Hey Nibbs, where are you going to put your GLOVES now , seriously those noisy things need plenty of cool air around them and when you switch off those Locky thingies they exhaust back through those electric solenoid thingies and when the "O" rings get a bit worn you get oil coming back through the air exhaust lines and that could get on you GLOVES . I see you have done the radiator , I have a bag of goodies here for you .

GOOD THING TAKE TIME,

FITZY.

[niblik]

cheers smokey.. i'll be round to visit..

ive got a lot of venting round the top of the box, its not a closed off area by any means so theres plenty of room to 'breathe' as such.. as for gloves? well, i'll just put them beside it on the left.. nothing else to go in theres anyhoo..

[niblik]

got these in this morn.. rough as but so is the rest of the vehicle......

[PR]

So will it be ready for Easter 2009 westcoast it will give you 5 months to finish it but even that might be pushing it

[niblik]

Are you going to upgrade

[Steve_t647]

With those ARB Air lines there is a longer spring type of cover you can buy to take out some of the vibration and movement in the line around where it goes into the diff putting these on will cause less breakages and air leaks around the fitting.

Hell it is not needed yet just if/when it does go throwing them on will mean less potential for reoccurance. Looks goo.. well like a lot of fun

[Sadam_Husain]

Fark that'll be noisey in there, wasnt there any room left under the bonnet or are you trying to keep it clean and out of the shit?

i got those on, just hard to see in the pics..

plenty of room in the engine bay, but they only go for a shortish burst, and in an open top rattler like my 40, it wont make too much difference.. main reason for this placement is to keep it out of the water/mud/crap though...

[SMOKEY]

I have to agree with you there Nibby , the way you can get your self in the shit ,

THE HIGHER THE BETTER (AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE COMPRESSOR),

FITZY.

[MNC]

Nice work Nibby, starting to make some good progress there

How you going with those brackets for the rear calipers (hint hint)???

[niblik]

thats tomorrow's mission..

[petefj40]

Before getting an onboard air suppy (air con converted to a compressor) I found plenty of room for that little compressor to fit up and in behind the dash nib. The engines computer took up most of the glovebox.

[niblik]

a new crossmember custom'd up for the hilux twins... version 1 of course...



and rear calipers and mounts all bolted up, just gotta put the newly bought bolts in rather than the huckery ones that are used as mock up for fitting..

[lilpigzuk]

Nice safety boots

Good work on it though Nibs, more progress in the past couple weeks than the past year

[petefj40]

Lookin' good nib!

[wopass]

damn you guys and your photobucket pics ! ! ! i cant see them ! !

[petefj40]

Re the ARB air compressor mounted in the glove box.
I farked up nib.
What i had bolted to the firewall behind the dash wasn't the ARB compressor but the Rancho compressor, adjuster for the shocks.

[petefj40]

damn you guys and your photobucket pics ! ! ! i cant see them ! !

Why's that wopass?? I thought anyone that had the right pluggin installed on their web brower could see them?
Does anyone else have that problem? (don't mean to hijack the thread)

[wopass]

work has photobuket blocked ! so any pics from photo buket arent there, i can see trade me stuff and i use

flickr.com

for my photos now so i can see and upload them from work, lol.

[niblik]

made a blingin blank.. not..........



also modified a 60 series 3b throttle cable to fit the 40's set up.. had to do this cos my engine set up has moved forward 200ish mm's.....

started with this.. cut off the spot welds and removed the windscreen secures as it'd get in the way of whats to come....

drivers..


passengers..


got the stays for the windscreen off and marked out the area to be removed... the two holes were originally for the push button glow and start buttons... i'll relocate them..


and the other side..


cut out the area pre clean up......


this is the bit cut out.. ya wanna cut out the bottom bit so as to not create a hazard to yaself or passengers.. thats the shaded area..


then i tacked it into place..


passengers..


so checked clearances to insure enough was cut and all was well.. feckin mint!

[lilpigzuk]

lol, "headlights" and "choke" buttons left
