came to fit clutch today found out it had a diahatsu  one fitted  and just a landrover plate so the flywheel didnt need drilling is this the norm?
found a voltage reg for the alt so going to try that when its in and runing if not i will try to get a 205 vac pump or simler to fit the engine has 2 spare pullys on the crank  anyway as iv removed a boged on land rover powersteering pump as i dont need that. have choped footwell just haveing got a new s3 clutch and needing half a diahatsu one its stoped play for today :'(

greatbignath:
hi im thinking of putting a hattie lump in a landy, did you use a conversion plate at all??

cheers nathan.

You might be able to fit a transit alt as they have vac pumps on the back and I think are self regulated so its kind of like a crossover between daihatsu and lucas - no extra belts needed.

Used to drive a daihatsu F50 and I remember having fun with the control box getting it to charge again.

well its in a driveing now few problems but most over come now first big one was  the flywheel hadent been drilled for the landy clutch and was still useing part dihatsu so havd it skimed and drilled for a landy one  next problem was the engine mounts where wrong the engine came out of a 90 so i had to get some  series ones for it next the bulkhead had to be choped to alow for the turbo and a downpipe made to fit (a work of art lol) water pipes made out of some car ones and a 90 one and its in and driveing took it for a run today and its 4th gear on most hills and ones here are steep things still to sort are
alt not conected
bulkhead still to plate back up
cluch seams to be draging a bit
other than that it flys lol but noisy

you do need a adapter plate,mounts,flywheel drilled but there is a very nice guy at chesterfield that sells these.

oh forgot also the heater dosent fit as turbo is in the way need to modify that when i get time but for now the turbo in the passenger foot well heats the cab well lol
