Fill the filter as you said and loosen one injector pipe and crank on the starter with the throttle pedal on the floor until it fires - in 15 sec cranks so the starter doesn't throw it's teddies

A couple of thoughts
Is there any mileage in converting an existing adaptor ring from a different engine to the LR g/box?
I have one for a 4203 to S3/Defender box and another of unknown engine side kicking around here..
On the casting side , you will need a lot of heat to melt the volume needed and pre-heat the mould.
Volume of cast could be estimated using sand to fill the cavities to be cast and a kitchen measuring jug
Cutting the source aluminium into small pieces will speed up the melt too

Hi,
I've recently looked at a Ex-MOD 109 FFR (big generator and 24v) and have the plate details so would like to know what info is there.
Serial no. 91109*** D
Con no. FVE 22A774
Reg no. 36 AJ 10
code no, 1705 0778
NSN 2320-99-893-3971
The plan is to re-comission it to a useable state with it's now fitted HT and rear door for the owner.
Thanks for any info.
Steve
Primarily , yes, but they will still add to a firm location . The main point of my post was to have as big a head to ally contact area as possible.
It is a smooth V8 petrol and not a 800hp blown 6BT after all....
Steve
A couple of dowels will deal with that.
I think with the csk heads I'd have bigger heads that maybe just break out of each edge of the ally to maximise the contact surface
Steve
Thanks for your input Eightpot. always good to have a professional clear up any doubts - I had not looked at the link the OP posted but I will next time.
Steve
As far as I know polyurethane and synthetic enamel are the same , the latter being the motor re-finishing trade name.
Seam sealer will work for years applied to a clean surface and painted over.
On cutting/buffing let it cure for several weeks and be careful not to overheat if power buffing
Steve
I think arctic white and alpine white are the same - and the colour you want.
I'd use brushable seam sealer on the gutters as it will cure and bond well and will paint over. It's what JLR used originally.
A bit more thinners will help in hot weather with synthetic enamel .
At least it's white, just imagine how many bugs if it was yellow....
Steve
A bit too accurate as well for a public forum?
Anyhoo , as mentioned above , check the drive belt while it's off to check the WP bearings. Re-fitting it the other way round sometimes stops the squeak
Steve
Would countersunk screws give you any more room instead of socket caps? Or socket button head?
If you do end up casting this adaptor can be used as a pattern, just build it up with filler to the desired shape/ draught angles to suit?
Steve
The "pistons" should move quite a distance - how does the new pre-assembled one compare?
clips
515468 plate- spring to back plate from top
515467 plate- locking next from bottom
515470 plate- packing finallly from bottom.
The boot 515466 then fits over the edge of 515467

Time for a new cable by the sound of it.
They can get damaged if there is or has been a bad main earth - starter to battery .
JLR cable if available would be my choice
Steve
It's worse if Stephen gets involved and they don't agree... That said it will be done perfectly.
Impact were able to source genuine mast ram seals for a 5 ton Clark (American) mid-70's lift which was the last FLT ram I did.
Agri-hire is my go to now for such stuff
