Just shoot into any half decent mechanic with a plateTronic setup and weigh the front end, weigh the diff n wheels then give eibach a call.......
You will get asked a lot of questions but it wont take long to do.
End result is good but the valving is the icing.

Re: attaching synthetic rope to pto drum
A mate gave me an idea to knurl the drum for 6" and throw a sleeve over the start of the rope.

Re: starting an engine after its run on oil - updated with p
That 7/16 jic feed line has internal diameter of about 4mm.
I blew mine up due to oil starvation of the bearing. It lasted about 10mths on 18psi which did contribute.
I increased the dia of the feed line and monitored oil pressure.

Re: Warn high mount rope install
9mm rope is pretty small so just splice it around a chain link and bolt the link to the drum.
Knots when under tension create their own heat and melt themselves (break).
But then if you have 50meters of rope out ,Sh:ts happened so as long as you account for it its all good.

Hey mate,
Just a couple of possibilities, fungus is common in marine applications or carbon from injector tip blowby.
It probably won't be a fuel rail as you would be making oil as well.

I don't think you should pass on the event just because you will have to follow gps points.... It is the easiest way to herd all of the competitors in the right direction if a reasonable distance is to be travelled!

Re: Water methanol on a turbo diesel??
Yep, done it, it was fun...especially when we got greedy with the mix and the motor would run on
We used a snow performance stage3 kit with a 600-750ml nozzle.
Egts were managable but the temp still got up.
Just whack it on but keep the mix to 50/50 tops.

Depending on their use i would strongly recommend the use of limit straps on any aluminium shock that has pin mounts as the parent metal catastrophically fails around that pretty little tig weld if they are used to retain diff drop.

Rule of thumb is 2500psi on standard braid D2900 hose, Yep you can go bigger but then your talking multi spiral hose which costs LOTS.
