Outer Limits 4x4 Board

BJ, you are a dead set legend. Thanks for the pics.

Thanks for that, will do. If anyone could be so kind as to post some pics of how their snorkel is fitted that would be tops.
Cheers

no I don't have access to a welder. And the snorkel pipe is clean... I was hoping someone had a nifty idea on how to mount it.. none of the Fourby outlets sell their mountings seperately, they all come as part of the bigger kit.

Have an aftermarket snorkel, bascially a large metal pipe bent in to the appropriate dimensions. I have nothing to attach it to the pillar with... does anyone know if there is a an aftermarket attachment available or if not can anyone suggest a suitable alternative?
Cheers

Just installed a Sony CD player in the 40 only to find it's drained the battery... have an inkling Sony players might be known for this. Any help gratefully recieved

Why don't you just put the cheese cutters back on til after you rego?

Ditto above.... you'd be amazed at how much dif some new bushes make. A bugger getting those pins out though!

gee, thanks

Wondering what the prevailing attitude to Hi-Clone's is. Especially to my thirsty beast (2F with extracters).

nice work... hope I can get to that stage in mine.

It's a hundred litre tank that sits ontop of the pan right across, under the seat. It came from a '45 series, but I'm told seats from a post 1977 40/45 series should fit straight in. I have two celica seats from a later model 40 that have been modified to bolt straight on, so I'm just after the bases.

Sounds like carbie troubles.... could be due for a rebuild

I thought the 45 chassis is an extra 300-400mms longer at the back... I bought a tow bar thinking it would fit but there's an extra length it bolts onto that the 40 doesn't have.

Not that desperate, I want it done properly. I just wanted to find out if there was an y easy solution first. As soon as you said the 45 fiiler hose is around the side, i realised the tank would have to be modified. Thanks for the pic and advice. Much appreciated.

It's gotta be the 40 everytime...

Thanks for the explanation... makes perfect sense. Looks like it's off to get chopped!

Can anyone in Melbourne suggest someone who could cut and weld in the inner city, South Melb., Nth Melb. etc.?

What difference, if any do Hi-clones make to petrol engines?

Not so long ago in Hobart, my 40 actually DID end up in the backyard across the street. Luckily no damage was done to the house or my 40, but when I got in, the bloody handbrake was still fully on! A bit like the other handbrake in my life, the misses!

Tank goes all the way across the cabin under the seats. Apart from the filler hose it fits perfectly.

My 40 is a '77, I'm told the floor pan changed after then, the tank went under the floor, and the seat footings changed. I'll need to have the passenger seat footing modified which is no biggy ...

I've got the hose, but the two outlets are so close, as I said 50mm even the most flexible hose won't fit.

I now know it definately came from a 45 series... what I want to know is does the 45 series pipe come in at a different angle, which would meet up with the outlet on my tank.

45 guru's I ...

Need advice on how to make this arrangement work. tank is from a 40 but obviously later than my '77. Is there any way to make the two nozzles meet up without cutting and welding the one on the tank around the back, pointing out horizontally. They're currently only 50mm's apart, no where near enough ...
