Engine In
A while ago now, Dr Johnson popped round to help lift the 200TDi engine into The Duke. This was by no means easy, but we managed it in the end!
We started work at 6pm and finally got the engine and gearbox mounted by midnight |
In place on the engine. |
The best solution, I think, is to buy a new petrol down pipe then modify it to fit properly. For the moment though, this will do.
Final picture is of the fuel pipe adapter I made for the fuel pickup. This allows me to use 8mm hose all the way from the tank to the engine with no adapters and no need to modify any of the military tank connections. Didn’t take long to knock this up on the lathe and I kept the old pipe in case I ever want to go back.
