Just to complete the story, the shock absorber is an aftermarket unit for an Axial Yeti. With the geometry of the brackets I made, I needed a shock/damper 120mm eye-eye, with 40mm stroke to still get full travel of the throttle lever. It was a bit of mucking around, but well worth it.

The lower connection is a piece of 1.2mm plate, bent around into a U shape to make the clevis for the lower shock mount. It is tack welded to the throttle lever, and my aftermarket ball joint stud is also bolted through it. It extends the throttle lever by about 10mm to keep the bottom shock...

That piece of 25mm x 25mm hollow section provided me with the perfect spot to mount a bracket for the RC car shock absorber. I just made the bracket from some more hollow section - two pieces back to back to make a clevis for the top shock mount - and welded it on.

Okay. First things first, I extended the standard 12HT throttle cable bracket so it reached down further towards the throttle lever on the pump. This allowed me to use the 2H throttle cable without having to extend it (simply cut the fitting off the end and secure it into an aftermarket ball...

Hi drenmaster, I’ll attach a few more photos for you...

Hey team, just thought it might be worth sharing this. I drew from your collective wisdom and odingski’s suggestion of an RC car damper and installed this today. It works brilliantly. Provides just the right amount of damping on both opening and closing the throttle. No more kangaroo hopping...

Thanks CenTX. I’d appreciate that. Those lights you mention are controlled by the port on the boost/pressure side of the turbo which also feeds a signal to the boost compensator on the injection pump. This port is on the turbo suction side pipe though.

Thanks mate, I know that one too, but it comes from the high pressure side of the turbo on the crossover pipe, not the suction side, and runs to the injection pump to fuel her up when on boost.

Thanks Earwigg. I thought I had that one sorted. Vacuum line from vac pump on back of alternator to the temp sensor (exactly where you say it is) and on to one of the the idle-up diaphragms. Unfortunately, this isn’t really a vacuum port as it’s on the inlet side to the turbo. It will see a...

Yes, I’ve got a couple of those diagrams but this one isn’t referenced unfortunately, and there’s nothing in my FSM either (that I can find 🙄).

I’m going to kick myself when you tell me coldtaco....

Yes, that exact one. You fooled me at first until I realised the pipe is on its side.

I’ve re-posted this in the Diesel Tech forum. Thought that ma6 be more appropriate. Cheers.

G’day team. I’m in need of some advice please. I’m about to put a 12HT into our 60 Series to replace the tired 2H. Thanks to this forum, and your collective experiences, I think I’m across most of the conversion aspects. But there’s one item I’m uncertain about - a small tube which protrudes...
