Ok,
I've found a little time to play with the Rat
He is not running as well as I'd like so bits and pieces started coming off.
Before

Parted down a little trying to sus what's going on and thought to myself why not convert him to 12v at the same time!!

So I bought a 12v alternator bundle pack from Just Kampers
Here is the new fuel pump with a new push rod in it

Alternator with new housing plate on

From the other side showing the new stand & oil filler nosel

Got the donk running perfect so onto the steering now
The old

My new bits and pieces

In they went

The suppliers gave me 2 right hand thread tie rods so have ordered a new one and that plus the new centre pin will be fitted Monday, hence why the the passenger side tie rod is not tightened plus the centre pin still needs to go in thats why the steering damper is not connected !!
