There was a time when Kevin was doing a "swap" of drilled manifolds ... he provided a drilled one, you gave him your old one which he then prepped for the next conversion ... don't know if he still does that ??

Think it's still possible but he's not sure if he has any 'spare' manifolds at the minute

I've been offered a couple of manifolds on here. If Kev has run out I'll try and get the member to post it straight to Kev.

[jonny2112]

Another part of the puzzle solved 

[doz]

That's if Kev still does it.

[doz]

Right. Operation "bung it on gas" is on. Kev has agreed to do the fannymould. I have decided on buying the new kit. I've spoken to Cliff and explained my reasons before posting on here. So it's all systems go. You lot are doomed I tell ya DOOOOOMED!!!!!

I'll be expecting a blow by blow account then. on top of the guides 
With any luck it'll be my turn in the future (not too distant I hope  )

This is turning in to a mare. Im getting messed around for the lpg kit. I've lost faith with the firm. So I've contacted another firm who will cert it but im going to source the kit from else where.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Tinley Tech, it seems to be standard for the industry

Tinley's support and customer service has been, from my experiences, superb But they charge a premium for that service, understandably

Im going to try and buy Cliff's set up and then a tank from Tinley. However apart from the size I am unsure of what tank to buy. I don't understand this 4 port, 1 port thing

[feeutfo]

Simple. Get a 4 hole. It's all you need to know.



(Single hole need a multivalve to deal with 4 holes in one, these are just one more thing to go wrong, certainly the multivalve in my upright spare wheel well tank was fairly hopeless, as it turns out)

[Lazydocker]

As Chris says, I'd recommend 4-hole every time

That said, if you wanted to save £50 or so you could go with a single hole as long as you get a good quality, high flow multivalve

[doz]

The old tank I have is 4 port. Guess I can reuse the old valve etc on the new tank. Or are they system specific

Doz, don't know if this is any use

Had no issues with them. They forgot the reducer temp sender, but sent one straight out when I rang them. The rest of the kit I bought from Tinley Tech. As Lazydocker has said, they're not cheap, but they know their onions, and are readily contactable and very helpful

[doz]

Right. I've brought Cliff's front end kit. So now I need to get the tank. I also need to get the pipe front to rear and the filler for the wing. I need some more help guys. I've seen the the stuff I want from Tinley but have different sizes of stuff. I need to know what size pipe to run from front to rear? is it 6 or 8mm for the 3.0lt engines? The vapouriser or reducer (what ever you want to call it) is a KME gold if that makes a difference back to front the pipe required. I also need to buy the 6 brass nozzles which go in to the inlet manifold. Now I was under the impression these were just open ended nozzles with the actual jets being in the base of the solenoids. However Cliff seems to think he drilled the 2.5mm jets and fitted them to inlet manifold and has not touched the solenoid end. So does it matter which way round you do it? or are both ends meant to be drilled? I've got the old kit I took off an omega here. It maybe a bit pants but I think it will give up a few parts that I may need.

[Lazydocker]

Run 8mm polyflex. Wait until you get the kit from Cliff as it might be in it (normally there's enough in the kit for a fill pipe and front to rear pipe )

Brass nozzles... Easy enough to source... Tinley do them top of this page

We'll talk properly tomorrow
