But you haven't been on the road yet!! If Margaret gets "clucky" then do what needs to be done about it. OR are your "headaches" your contraception???

A mixture of age and anti-depressants Dottie ..... and we have been on the road, travelling here, we will be on the road travelling back to Mannum, hopefully visiting friends on the way through

Now to find a top radiator hose ..... Prices so far are either $350 including freight from the USA, or, do not post to Australia or NLA ...... Next was to buy hoses that looked like I could make up a hose, maybe tomorrow $91.50 plus GST x 2 ..... They are on their way ....

Next, found a hose listed for a Holland/Ford tractor, no mention of where it is supposed to fit, it looked the right shape etc, only $40 delivered, so ordered that as well, keep it as a spare if these 2 hoses do the job ......

Found the filter screen was partially blocked again, after multiple radiator flushes .... and it looked like bits of cloth type fibre material that has swollen in the filter mesh and blocked it ......
Phone doesn't want to talk to the 'pter at the moment fot some reason, so I can't post a photo

I'll let is dry out now and see if that will shrink it enough to blow it out.

Geez T1, I bet you're glad you got a Winnie with a Triton engine in it by now. Probably would been easier to just shoehorn in the V6 hybrid already. Probably less expensive as well.

And a whole lot more fun Not much shoehorning required, that V10 is a monster. Enough room for the electrics as well as some of the batteries I think

So, when the project starts, will you be available when it comes to programming the computer for the L110 2 motor 2 sp transmission when I fit the Zombieverter board ?

When it finishes, I'll have Scottie beam me over to watch it drive out the gate.

Seriously Terry, I wonder how you'll physically cope with all the physical effort required to install something like this. We've read about each installment with the current motor how you struggle with the neck and headaches.

Do you really think you're physically able to take on such a huge project(?) and complete it to the end?

(I know how many times I had to crawl under the bus and out again when I was swapping the engines over. It's a lot)

Um, nup. Give us a hint what the code format is, and then it's a maybe.

I have no idea. The Zombieverter boards are the brain child of Daimen Maquire https://www.evbmw.com/index.php/about and in conjunction with the https://openinverter.org/wiki/Main_Page forum members, have developed boards for various proprietary electric motors and so they can be programmed to do what you want rather than what the manufacturer planned. Here is a video that probably needs to be watched at 1.25 or 1.5 sp, because he does talk slow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCj21jisAhM&t=48s

I'll check that video later. My brain is still frozen this morning.

Wait till tonight and watch it normal speed, if you are still awake at the end of that, you really do have a sleeping problem
