While I was moving the old girl around the yard for access on the weekend I had it parked on the driveway and it decided that there was entirely too much coolant in it and decided to lowwer the level via a faorly decent hole ...

Oh! and another thing.... does any body know if the oil squirters from the 12ht are cast in or are they stand alone items that might be able to be put into the 2h. I'm "fairly" sure that they're pretty much the same carcass arn't they? I'm more than willing to be corrected.

Thanks. So again forgive my ignorance, but with the internal regulator, it's in the original alt right? I know 2/5 of f.all about auto electrics. I'd thought about the vac pump too, would a later model ie 60 or 70 something have a vac pump and provide better amps or would I need to chase something ...

:? My bad, I just saw V8 diesel and ran with what I'd been thinking of doing. As to the 'yota mota I don't know. I just wanted something rediculous under the bonnet for the ever enjoyable "quiet Sunday drives with the family". To bad we cant all fit in the ute, I guess I'll just have to go alone ...
