talk is for snow in late January, so time yet

Couldn't possibly comment, but Wilton Middle school didn't help For some reason I can't remember many shallow enough crossings on either the Nadder or the Wylye, gonna have to get my map out now and have a looksie

The rectifier regulator units are quite common on all Honda's, three yellow wires in (3ph alternator), one red wire out (positive), one black wire out (earth/negative). If the colour codes follow that practice then there should be nay probs..... funnily enough on older Honda's it's this unit that goes pop quite regularly

Blooming pull your finger out, my 109's getting lonely at Bunny Lane

I've lived in the area all my life and was brought up in Wilton oh lovely scummer Ditchampton Road.........

I know, but unfortunately you just got to look at the 90% average cars that park around the front or are around the back being serviced to see why Otton's are concentrating on other stuff, the modern TD5 Def, Freebies, RRP38/RRS and DiscoII brigade are their main capital

R&E Land Rover, Churchfields Industrial Estate, Salisbury, run by an ex-Otton's Mechanic who left because Otton's didn't want to get involved in challenge trucks Don't have anything good to say about FBB out Shrewton, my bosses 88 SIII had a bodged weld repair by them

IIRC it's pressure is more for 200BHP fuel injected vehicles, but as I'm running a 3.5V8 with a Piper cam that makes the thing fly, it seems to be working bang-on with my twin SU's

Yup, just to add to the modern Facet, I fitted a Red Top varient and brought it off Ebay for £50, works brilliantly and I mounted it under the seat where the hand brake lever mounts via a bracket:

Just had a post on ORRP, opinion is that Yellow (F1) is in

Ok, just wiring an Albright for my Husky winch, Is F1 (Yellow) or F2 (Blue) to the winch for feeding in or feeding out as respectively?

Yes and no really, they still need some form of lubricant as they can pick-up, PTFE is better for self-lubrication, but more expensive. Unfortunately it's a common thing with lubricants in any location, it can happen with phosphor bronze bushes, brass bushes, oil lubricated et cetera. However having a decent head of grease around the bush will aid in limiting the ingress of a water-born grit, and after a few pumps with a grease gun should assist with pushing it out and replacing it with fresh grease, just got to be of the mindset that after playing in mud that you give it a good clean and re-lube (which reminds me, must do my propshafts after Sunday's fun ) no grease nipples on a 525, just oil in the worm gear enclosure, the free spool casting could have a grease nipple for the bearing inside it, since there are no means of preventing muddy water getting into the bearing (bit daft but never mind), as follows:

cheers

Cheers for the comments I suppose with a little work a ball bearing with in-built seals could be used, however I would then also be tempted to weld in some gussets from the inner bush casting area to the outer skin area to help spread the load after removing material to aid the fitment of a bearing. Now what do I need at the moment to bulk up a stainless steel order so I can get some grease nipples

As I know some of you have Husky's, thought the following maybe of interest; As I'm in the process of getting a Husky fitted to my Series, I've been busy cleaning it up and making it look decent from when I first purchased it. Now with a new motor fitted, oils and greases replaced and the drum and red portions all painted I started looking at it since it will be getting assembled soon. One of the details which I consider to be a design flaw is that there is no means to pressure-grease the nylon bushes either end of the drum. The 525 winch has a benefit here in that one end has it's bearing inside the case to keep it lubed, while the other end could be drilled and tapped to fit a grease nipple, thereby solving issues with this winch. The main case is some trouble to figure out how to best solve at present, so I'll turn my attention to the support plate at the other end. This plate has only a nylon bush in it, and takes screws for mounting the winch (x2), mounting of the solenoid pack if mounted on the back (x2) and the screws for the fairlead and back strengthening plate (x4), that's it. Initially I thought about drilling in the back face to tap and fit a grease nipple, however this has two drawbacks in that I may not have enough room between the case and the Series wing to be able to get a grease gun into the nipple, and also although I am mounting the solenoid pack inside of the engine bay, if I ever wish to mount a standard solenoid pack on the outside of this bracket again, I will have to mount the solenoids over the grease nipple thereby negating access to it. With this in mind I took to looking around the outside of the body of the bracket to find enough material to drill through and pass a lubrication galley to the nylon bush, but alas there is not enough material to do this. I also took time to make a note on how much can be reached with the winch in its mounting plate, namely only the top face and the front sloping face as follows: I decided to aid with access that I would drill a hole through from the front sloping face, in line with the gap between the nylon bush and the housing. However this had the problem that I would break-out inside the housing between the bush support boss and the outer skin of the bracket. To solve this I used some 3/16 Copper-Nickel brake pipe which actually measured 4.6mm dia to act as the lubrication galley between the outer skin and the bush support. I initially drilled through at 3mm, then 3.5mm, 4mm, and finally 4.5mm from the outer skin to the inner, and then drilled it 3/16" to give me a couple thousandths of an inch clearance to slide the tub in. I then drilled the outside skin 1/4" deep with a 13/16" drill bit and tapped to a depth of 1/4" 1/4" BSF so that I can fit a 1/4" BSF stainless steel grease nipple once I have procured one. With the bores now completed, I slide the pipe in until it started to go into the bush support hole, using some Loctite 638 bearing retainer (it can take up gaps up to about 0.004"), I smeared the inside portion of the tub and a little bit on the outermost portion of the pipe, and pushed it in and tapped it in with a hammer and punch until it was 1/4" in of the outer face to clear the grease nipple once fitted. From Inside: From Outside: I'm still thinking about the main case, there are the problems that I must miss the two sprung brake shoes, and once I start looking around there may be not enough meat in the casting to bore all the way through to the inner area as I do not know the thickness of the casing between the winch drum area and the internal worm gear area. However I am still thinking on it

Just looked on a datasheet for a generic 7805 and the input voltage maybe upto 35VDC, however it must be stressed that this device is only capable of delivering 1.0A. If you take it to max output on current then you will be requiring that it be strapped down on a decent heatsink or something aluminium preferably, with heatshink compound between it and it's sinking material.

Oh yes indeed, ask Rogue Trooper as he knows a little about it

cheers I take it George is coming together nicely? any pics?

As Rogue has said, 3.5V8 with carbs, bejesus does it sound the dogs, had Twizzle (a Shires long-time member), saying he could here me from the otherside of Bunny Lane today I love petrols

I did used too I lurk to talk to the people who have giving me parts and assistance via PM, if I see them on other forums, I talk there, but with the likes of the person who gave me the V8 bell housing cover (damn, can't remember name), I every now and then give them a PM with a piccie or something just to let them know that their parts or services have been put to good use. Well, come that day it'll be nice to have a debate knwoing that it can be put over in a manor that befits discussion Now that is interesting, because two people have told me otherwise...... we'll agree to disagree until further solid evidence comes forth as I can see this one being of two ways, namely true or false information Anyhoo, I wouldn't have posted if it wasn't for the following: Now, if that aint petty and not asking for someone to defend themselves, then I don't know what is. Anyhoo, just got the money out for fuel, I'll see anybody who does turn up at Bunny Lane tomorrow, see how the truck behaves on climbs and decents with it's new engine and transmission....

Oh the irony of the comments, having read the above people still continue dishing it out when they more than likely aint met the people face to face to get the real picture and say it in person. Or do people lack spines on this forum, easy to tap a keyboard than be a man afterall. Since I've already arranged to meet a work colleague at Bunny Lane tomorrow I'll be there, you can't miss me, I'm the one with the grin enjoying myself being out and getting stuff done and enjoying my truck, rather than wasting hours on a forum being vile to people I aint ever met. If you got a problem, say it to my face, if not, wind your neck in because you obviously too narrow minded to speak to a person face to face to argue a case Go on, ban me like the others for voicing an opinion!

Ok, seems I have not had a reply from the moderators concerning me being tarred by the effing great brush that was welded at Mandy, so this is the last post I shall be putting on this forum. To say I am sorryful of this forum is an understatement, the actions of a few to moan and squabble about other people they can't quite figure out is quite sad, and alas I aint got the time (and more than likely been blocked by those who should be listening) or patience to venture any further. To those people I have offered assistance too, may I hope your projects come to fruition and my comments have been of use. To those people who have offered me assitance, thank you To those who have put me in thise position, take a pin out of a grenade and ram it up your ****ing arse good night

oh yes, for those topics that are "off topic"

So when's this topic going in the grave yard then?

where there's money to be had.....
