Thanks Chris, how difficult are the mods?

[Guest 2b cruising]

Talk very very nice to him.

He just might even pre mod for you but not this weekend as I know he is not at home.

It is not difficult to mod just need to cut mounting plate off and weld knew one on probably about an hours work

[MarkBzero]

Thanks Chris I will gladly take you up on your kind offer, hopefully you still have address from the water rail. If not please pm me. Thank you

hi mark these are the mounts its the one on the left that needs changing from the three bolt to a four bolt pattern

this is how it needs to be and is fitted directly below the water pump

[tractor]

and the triangle one is fitted below the carbs

[tractor]

I will send you these as well

[tractor]

on mine I reused the wedge part of the pinto mount on the carb side and on the water pump side I just used the rubber mount straight to chassis plate

sorry for the delay but I have only just had the time to find them in the garage and I wont be able to get to post office till Monday

[MarkBzero]

Excellent thank you please let me now how you want payment. A few more bits inlet manifold on order, exhaust manifold probably order direct from GBS, alternator kit and idler on order from retroford, the VVT from trigger wheels and I should be able to start the the exchange.

 

Thank you for your advice.

just a heads up there is a problem with the vvt software but Andi sorted it out for me

you have to disable something on your comp to get it to work

Thanks Chris,

Will the engine run without VVT to check everything is working before buying the magic box?
