So you think I've been sunbathing since I came back..........no no no

Had a mad flurry og exhaust and rad bottle remount and fender cutting to fit and then winch sinking and cooler remounting to clear winch motor........cos I'm stoopid and put it in the way

Here's some pics to prove......... rad overflow bottle not very visible as its now black......looked too much like a Jepp collostemy bag

And then there the exhaust that I had to redo cos the original had rear winch in way..........

Now it is straight pipe back to rear so no exhaust under my butt heating up the cab........

rock solid so wont bang and rattle...........

Fitted props last night............. :jpshakehead:issues with straps and UJ on rear.......has to be a combo 1310 1350.

All sorted this PM .......just finished........all propped up...........

Only the efffin' battery has 7.95 volts........so got to get new one........

And monster good (allegedly) Royal Purple Power steering fluid as reccomended by PSC.......... well none in the UK and got reimbursed today.........so what do you you Full hydro guys use?

??

Been on Pirate and the rural boys use Amsol light hydraulic fluid (clear)

Seeing as most farm equipment is full hydro there must be an option?

Anyone?

I do live out in the fens so plenty of Agric suppliers so might pay a visit tomoz at lunchtime,

Apart from that the Iroks land at mine Mon/Tues............

hydo fluid like whats in forkfifts hydro drive axles etc.. apollo 46 is one company name for it, dont think its that important, ive got atf in mine at the moment. what is important is bleeding the air out of the system and having a good head of fluid, res has to be mounted well above the pump or you will get air in the system and bugger the pump.

wildwood · « **Reply #106 on:** July 15, 2011, 07:33:51 PM »

Thanks was waiting for your 2 cents ........cos I remember topping yours up with clear stuff from a 5 litre container...agric stylee

Done some anorak research and Redline power steering came up OK for Porsches etc and some stuff that seemed agric....

So e-mail to PSC and they said yup good stuff go ahead........... only prob £15 a liter........... just hope I got no leaks

Slowly getting there............. just waiting for X Eng to answer their phone so I can score a cheapish 1000 CCA battery!

ATF here...

Dave69 · « **Reply #108 on:** July 16, 2011, 12:48:20 PM »

take your time to bleed the system as it's not done in 5 mins. SLightly different but i used to test power steering pumps for a major car maker an we spent 10 boring minutes bleeding the system of air before testing slowly going from lock to lock. The reservoir as said has to be above the pump height.

wildwood · « **Reply #109 on:** July 16, 2011, 01:17:37 PM »

Thanks guys.. Yeah the bleeding of system is a 2 page thing from PSC.......... and it will take a long time...... and then switch engine on and take even more time.....

They also sent how and where to mount res and hose runs..........

I've got res mounted so lid almost touches underside of hood..... and outlet at bottom is 1.5 inches above pump and 2 " from pump so should be ok gravity and short run etc............ we'll see

Bugger........... you only gone and got me to put those in my watch list...................

wildwood · « **Reply #116 on:** July 25, 2011, 01:54:53 PM »

So the missus went to a wedding on Sat so I had a weekend thrash fest till 9 or 10 at night......

Lunchtime today started her up.......... she lives and breathes and all gears work.......LPG still works

Steering is a dream.......... brakes are shite and I still have to bleed them some...or a lot more..... will lock the rears but pedal goes down.....a lot

Anyway here's some pics......... it don't look that big in the shots

but the front wing/fender top is in middle of my chest and rock rails come to my hip bone......... and I'm 6' 2' in my working boots.........

wildwood · « **Reply #118 on:** July 25, 2011, 02:08:47 PM »

Final shots.........
[attachment=1]
front tyres don't stick out too far ......due to H2 rims of 51/2 backspace
[attachment=2]
rears are legal............ WMS at rear is 64" and at front is 69.5".......... so if front goes thro gap.......blah blah......
final shot........ for the moment.....

At first glance looking at the first set of pics I thought I ended up in mini-monsters

Took a while before I realized it was a real beastie. Cool
