Early ones like these have 4 screws that hold the centre divider in, later ones have 1 or 2 on one side and none on the other

You can see it's all one-piece

I'll get some better pics when I do the other side

That's part of the frame, the whole thing comes out of the opening 🤘

Not 100% sure what you mean, the frame is just glued onto the opening with butyl, once it's out you need to undo the centre divider and spread the frame to remove the glass pieces, then clean and paint, replace all the parts, I used a kit from rubber seals Australia which is great, the...

They are glued in with butyl, easy enough to get out, lever between the pinch weld and the frame, gently working around it, awful awful stuff to clean up however, I stuck it back in with 227 sikaflex

Finally got around to doing one side, do the other tomorrow, had to wait for some decent weather to paint the frames, original seals were weathered away to dust

Finally got around to swapping the early engine mount to late, so I could run the late vane power steering pump and drop the engine down where it should be, aftermarket Early mounts are too thick, couldn't get the rocker cover off

Don't have sizes handy, bought a Welch plug kit from engine Australia

12ht stock will run 750c pre turbo, add more air (boost) or even better intercooled air, mine is 15psi in the inlet manifold, pump maxed out, 500-600 max pre turbine

If only this was the case, when the ring lands wear, then the rings break, often with very little indication, then they break into ever smaller pieces damaging the cylinder walls, getting past the other rings scoring the crank, blocking piston oilers open etc etc, I've seen it all to often, 2h...

rcv cv's and axles on the way, never broke the second hand and very noisy factory cv that replaced the longfield btw

The factory mls gaskets are the best, can be reused again even after 500k

Nice looking truck for sure Imo any unopened 12ht or 2h past 300k needs to be torn down and alfin ring land pistons need installed, I've done a few and they all wear the ring lands and break rings, if you get them early enough, a hone and pistons and it's done. Last one I did had to be sleeved...

Di just sound and feel nicer also imo
