other option is stumpy R380 and conversion box or even the series one, LT95 is a bit long unless you can get a short housing off a 101 or car and LT85 is is a bit long too
you could always upgrade the internals though

Yes but if it came from the injector pump (very probably) then it's shaggy anyway
should there not be a filter before the injector pump?Americans have them. screen on fuel picked up pump then a screw on fuel filter(like a oil filter) on side of chassis rail before injector pump

No we think the injector pump is knackered and so is grinding metal which is being returned to the tank by the return pipe

I've changed engine and axles if I change the gearbox and the suspension is classed as changed its not got enough points to keep the original plate especially seeing as I'm planning on changing the suspension in the future. So by not changing the gearbox I can keep the original reg just
