Yes we've our 50th anniversary next year so hoping to get something sorted out, have you any details on the springs you're using with the extra weight ?
I'm just sticking some standard height HD springs on.
Which if I remember are just rear springs fitted to the front.
If I can avoid a lift, Then I will.
May I ask how much a Cummins engine conversion costs? Minus the cost of the engine. Would love to do it. I did search but couldn't find an answer.
That's the thing, Their isn't really an answer.
I searched as well, Before I started mine.
Everyone has different ways of doing things, Be it cheaper or more expensive.
How much can you do yourself?
For me I'm doing everything myself apart from the gearbox/transfer box adapter.
It hasn't cost me anymore than I thought it would.
But the amount of stuff needed seems to be never ending.
The biggest thing seems to be the amount of different sized hoses and fittings needed.
Not much matches up to the lr stuff so you end up needing compression fittings, Hosetails, reducers, bsp adaptors etc.
Plus stuff like a Starter and alternator which aren't the cheapest if you buy new.
If I come in at under £1500 I'll be happy. (Including the engine that is though) Although i recon it'll be £1200-1300 when it's done and sold the bits I don't need off the engine.
If you want more info, Give us a shout and I'll try and break it down a bit.
