Re: 5.0 Ltr Holden In A Patrol
Dont do it, use a Chev V8, its narrower , which means easier access to plugs etc, Dellows have kits for various chev motors.
I did a 308 in a G60 - awesome , but it had lots of issues doing it and living with it because it was so wide in comparison to a Chev.

Bundy, If its not too drastic a miss and loss of power throw some 2stroke in the fuel ( 200 :1 ) - 100 litres of fuel = 500 ml of 2 stroke and give it a run, may take a tank or two BUT a friend did it to his patrol and the miss/ loss of power just went away and it returned to normal after about 5 ...

I did (after our last convo about them) but they were out of stock. Back in stock now it seems. Is that 200 per light? yep, $199 per light for the big ones $119 ( I think) for the little ones Same price for spot or spread units , If you do buy, buy 2 x spot units - they have excellent spread anyway

Re: To the welding gurus out there
I would have taken either the refund or the fitment of a replacement tank .
I wouldn't have bothered with a protracted discussion/battle particularly when you have ongoing concerns as to the structural integrity of the tank.
