I think its an Aus thing. When I bought my vehicle second hand they'd been welded a couple of times. Recent trip to north west WA one "fell off". Mitsubishi replacements about $80 each. Steel about $5. Paint from my garage shelf.

diy boot protector on FG649, design taken from FG84, two bits of angle and one bit of 3mm strip with two bends. Bent tip to avoid hitting axle at full lock. Choice of colour optional - I didn't have black.

Don Kyatt (see their website for phone) have some canter and isuzu parts

this is another style. There was only one scissor step available when I found mine, seem to be more choice now. Very solid. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camper-Steps/Brophy/AS24.html steps are difficult. It helps if each step, including top and bottom, are the same height. Also helps if the...

just by way of a more complete explanation ..... current cost of mobile internet to me at my level of use is A$3.75/Gb, with special offers $1.67 for next 8 months. 1966 when I first sat in front of a drawing board with first and third angle projections. about 1982 when I wrote the capital...

I remain unconvinced ..... "Fusion stores all files exclusively in the cloud"

internet marketing ambiguity? One page for education https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/students-teachers-educators another for hobbyists https://www.autodesk.com/campaigns/fusion-360-for-hobbyists but now I'm researching step 1 "check if you qualify" on a page that doesn't mention...

when I want a printed circuit board, or even a complete circuit, I log on to a website, draw the schematic, convert it to a board layout, press a button for quote and order. Totally confident I get what I intended. As a low volume customer, with laser cutting, machining and 3D printing I have to...

the chafing is apparently a common problem. My used vehicle came with spare cables. I wondered why. Also had some 6mm hard rubber wrapped around the cables where cables meet the sharp edge of the cross member, secured with cable ties. If that rubber ever wears (it has a notch in it after about 9...

Solar Regulator is good. It will limit output current to 50 amps. Which at 24v is 1200 watts. Read earlier post that said "Avoid the eBay semi-flexible unless you really know what they are." The first thought on looking at the eBay link is the obvious conflict between heading and picture. They...

yes, okay to have solar and engine charging at same time ......... once at absorption the volts will be the higher of the two sources, the other source reduces output. from battery size its likely you may need 400 - 600 W of solar. Depends on energy use.

I have Victron MPPT regulators. Just replaced framed solar panels with semi-flexible panels built from sunpower cells - roof 75 kg lighter. I imported direct from China but available (at higher cost) in Aus. Avoid the eBay semi-flexible unless you really know what they are. Connect regulator to...

Didn't know about Fusion 360. I've watched Autodesk from version 1 of autocad - the draftspersons took to it easily. I used sketchup. It took some getting used to how to draw things. Nice drawing paradigm which suited me. Needed to know its limitations. One of those trade-offs between learning...

that's a heap of good work, a chassis drawing makes everything else about a project so much easier

beat me to it Kerry, my 4D34 has drive by wire accelerator and a few other connections to a ECU (engine control unit). Like from speed sensor integrated with speedo cable on side of gearbox. Not sure whether the engine can be physically swapped but the electronics and wiring have to be looked at...

maybe start with switches 6 and 7 on, test frequency of 500 hz. also need to know if sender is hall-effect or inductive, switch 3 I don't have one .... my Mitsi is cable driven.

have you considered a tank? My compressor is the bottleneck, keep it running all the time while removing/replacing valve covers and connecting/disconnecting air hose. Air from tank to tyres flows faster than compressor can supply. Inflating in parallel or serially takes same time. My biggest...

a few km east of Tafraoute Sidi Ali, between Mahmid and Merzouga. Morocco, a few km north of Algerian border. January 2013. Very approximately 30.724, -4.551 Soft sand collected on one side of an outcrop we were looking to camp beside. Further east, near Ramlia was an area referred to on a map...

snap ......

nice, then you'd need even bigger diameter axle shafts .... interesting integration with steer and free wheel hubs.
