Well, it's pretty much all done (finished it last week actually apart from a couple of small jobs) and while I have taken it for a quick spin I haven't managed to go for a proper run yet. Reports on how it runs etc and what I think of the conversion kit itself will come later (when I had had a chance to take stock of things) but so far I can say that I am pleased with how it performs.
Had the morning off today so gave it a bit of a clean and took some photos for the agreed valuation insurance (which has come due), thought I would post some photos showing a couple of aspects of the conversion while I was at it.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Transmission oil filler & dipstick tube (the orange bit between the air-box & rocker-cover), stock Disco part which I had to re-model and make a bracket for. Couldn't find a picture or photo of where it sits in a Disco but after I had played with it this seemed to be the best location.

Internal layout showing NAS console and shifter arrangement. I was worried that there would be too much plastic on show (as you can see I don't do carpets or trim) but it actually looks very good and doesn't get in the way at all.
Transfer lever sits very low in the console so I am having the lever lengthened, this is both for aesthetic and practical purposes and hopefully I should get this done at the weekend. I also think that a polished alloy transfer lever knob might set it off, not a great fan of them on a gearbox (too cold first thing on a frosty morning) but for the transfer lever (which doesn't get used much) I think I can live with one.
Still unsure about fitting the foot-rest (bolts to the tunnel wall just in-front of the bonnet release), certainly for the runs I have made so far I haven't felt the need for one and I think I might appreciate the extra leg-room.
One more job is to fit the under-tray to the Raptor console, I took it off yonks ago as it clashed with the gearstick but as that is no-longer an issue I can re-fit it and enjoy all that extra storage space!
Haven't fitted the large brake-pedal yet, told myself that this would be the final job and would confirm in my mind that it was all completed.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
