today's task was an idler. The problem is I don't have an air pump. They do make an air pump eliminator, but with the large alternator and the H1 design, the pulley is too large... but that doesn't mean I can't use parts from that
first, the hole
so for all of those people doing a 6.5 turbo side-mount turbo on a H1 motor in a Square.... this is how you do that... first you take a mercedes idler pulley then bolt it onto the bracket that you'd use for an air pump eliminator.... time to void the warranty
yeah, I know, millions will be doing this swap...
you can slightly see where the bracket is going
test fit
weld it up - yes, that bracket above became this
then finally, work on the front shock spacers
bracket minus the pulley
love welding chinesium.... not
anyway, get the right belt (that was a story all by itself) tomorrow... then finally that's marked 'done'
finally, starting on bolting the springs in... Canadians, look away
