Nice work!

There were sometimes fitted to Australian Landcruiser by dealers in the 80s.. supposedly to deal with road cambers.. gimmicky in my opinion, and best returned to a factory setup.

I agree.. it wont be that.

@Lead Head is on the money... there's a damper spring and its quite a strong spring. I have a set of reference photos for the 2H EDIC Rod here.. https://duncandiesel.com/app/library/141 - click through to the photos. I honestly feel the EDIC setup is more trouble than its worth, a stop cable...

Cracking photos! Well done.

I have replaced my fusible links with Midi Fuses... some people seem to think I'm inviting a vehicle fire, but I am unconvinced that the blow characteristics of these fuses is so different from fusible wire that its going to cause a problem.

The rear dual wheel carrier/eBike carrier I built would prob be around the weight of what you're talking about.. Photos: HJ47 Rear Bar Build · Jan 25, 2025 – Apr 14, 2026 📸 - https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZSdFTkAF7tXXQk6o8

This is unlikely to expose sources of air ingress, but its still worth doing.

Beautiful engine bay.. well done. I have a checklist of things to consider in a small article I wrote, its aimed at the 2H, but the same is all true for the 12HT.. Some additional points. Its a process of elimination Your injection pump wont be "bad", I wouldnt worry about any major cost with...

Transmission Mount The HJ60 cross member wont work The FJ45 Cross Member wont quite work either, the actual cross member will be correct but the two "L Brackets" that bolt to the chassis rails are a slightly different angle to the HJ47 ones and bolt to a slightly different position. If you...

You can sneak out the idler shaft JUST enough to get a new O Ring installed.. pull it out any further and the transfer case has to be disassembled. This wont help with your transmission issue though, its rebuild time for your transmission.

I wouldnt persist with the EDIC Motor.. you'll also need a working (and matching) Fuel Control Relay, and a suitable EDIC rod.. A simple stop cable is so much nicer and so much more maintainable.. I have images of various "Stop Cables" on 2H diesels here: 2H Stop Cable Images — Duncan Diesel...

Relevant thread.. replacement part number for Amayama in it.. 24v Voltage Regulator Search - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/24v-voltage-regulator-search.1380504/#post-16312160

I am happy if I get 19MPG on a trip. Squirrel on the roof.. lol.. I've had a dingo wake me up in the middle of the night.. I sleep with the doors open and it was scratching around for food, I think we both got the same fright when I woke up..
