The Landrover Cummins (12v 6BT) Conversion

[darrenjlobb]

Bit more work going on with this,

Got the power steering plumbed up, running original leyland hydraulic pump, with a pressure reg to keep pressure down at normal landrover steering box levels. Just had some hoses made up 1/2" to extend, and then adaptors to get everything hooked up:



Then decided to wire the old girl up, we are running a 12/24 volt system, so basically starter / alternator are 24 v (two 12v batts in series) and then landrover still runs 12v tapped from center. So ran a new ground / power feed to starter to make sure its got plenty of juice, as this thing takes some amps to wind over, another reason for keeping it 24v..



Mounted big relay to handle the solenoid, so that 12v from barrell will switch 24v solenoid.




Then took pump apart and fitted stiffer gov spring, and swapped out the 24v solenoid for a 12v one, along with some more wiring / oil pipes:





Then ran a pair of new fuel lines from the tank to the pump:
