  1. I'm fitting a d'cab tub onto my s'cab-chassis LN147R. I see the foremost tub mounts on the chassis in a parts diagram, but they aren't available as a spare? Anyone point me to a pair quickly? Fortunately not difficult to hand make. Headlight buzzers can be made from Jaycar/***** Smith pietzo buzzer [~$10 ea] They are white, abt 10mm x 18mm x 12mm. Connect red to headlight out wire from switch, and black to ign 'run' wire. Device will only sound when lights only are on. {Out means electrically after being switched] Include an off switch if you need to leave your lights & on motor off for any long time-they are LOUD/annoying. carry a length of good thick wire with an old alternator brush attached-makes a good point soldering tool for emergency repairs if held in pliers and touched onto earthed metal. Add resin cored solder where touching part-NB Everything V hot V quickly. Do not use on electronic parts. Carry a few spare 2.25mm welding rods and use it with 200A jumper leads for emergency welding. Satincraft brand are particularly easy to use, but weaker than Ferrocraft.--Keep dry!!! Will kill your battery if used too much/often, running the motor is not recommended, as the current is high. Q. My brake equalization rod above the diff is somewhat bent upwards-is this wrong/do I have a problem? Q. Will std wiring 'take' 55W/65W Halogen h'light current safely, or MUST I upgrade it? My OEM sealed beams are terrible, and the difference between the beam positions is much too great. BTW, Anyone figured out a good cheap way to lever adjust the headlight elevation? Awfully primitive not to have that on a work vehicle. Q. Anyone know where to get the wiring loom connector to a 1995 washer pump? Wreckers don't want to cut one off. Q. Where do I get a good, similar size/effect to OEM universal muffler? 490mm x 190mm dia, 48mm in 52mm out thx
  2. Could be a bad fusible link too. & these early alternators were a bit weak on the diesel models, causing much grief. Later ones are 100A or more.
  3. I have a '99 '5L' hilux motor, and want to operate an 88L/hr 370kpa centrifugal oil filter from the return line on the vacuum pump of the alternator. Is this likely to work? Air bubbles aren't a problem, but backpressure on the pump might be. The filter drain to sump can be sorted later. PS I only think I know what I'm doing. Advice pls.
