kayten Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Quick update, Found a internally regulated alternator that pretty much bolted straight on with minimal fuss. I scored the alternator from "AUTO ELETRICS AUSTRALIA" here in Brisbane its a 70 amp jobbie and is perfect for the job. To make it fit i added a spacer in between the legs on the pivot mount about 10mm and I had to drill out the front mount hole on the front leg to the larger bolt size and swapped the steel insert from my old externally regulated alternator on the rear leg. Also made up a small adapter to allow the use of the original alternator bracket. easy really. small adapter so I can use original bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayten Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 up date the RAT040 is now rolling!!! Got everything sorted and done over the last few weekends just a few small things to finish off and its rego time. Took these pics about an hour ago after going on sneaky test drive for 20 mins or so and its running overrated!!! Used a airflow meter and verniers and some screw drivers to sync and tune the carbs seems to be all good. Just need to get it on a dyno to make sure A/F ratios are good and to see what sort of power it will make. Just need to lower it a few inches, ive head the old Isuzu Gemini front springs fit and are 1 1/2" shorter in standard length so some lowered Gemini springs would give me the drop without having to make some custom lowering springs with the angle grinder!!! Has anyone used the Gemini springs?? Custom grill was a mission to strip, sand, paint, polish and add skull but looks the goods, note air intake in head light 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayten Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Update!! Car has now been slammed for Greazefest car show on sunday. I used some 4" hilux lowering blocks with 19mm locating dowels. Had to shave a small amount off the dowels to make fit but nothing serious, also had to bend the u bolts to suit the narrower diff housing and also drill out the through holes on shock mounting plate. Removed bump stops and we are good to go. For the front i just took a few coils off the standard springs, this set up is purely for car shows and I will have a set of 2.5" blocks and get some front lowering springs to suit.
