Yes that's it. It's called a hub extension on the parts drawing. Is this where you say you have one.....please please please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's done, no one will see it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaFe Posted 4April, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 4April, 2019 I've managed to source a replacement a 2nd hand one after being told by Autohaus Hamilton they are a NLA new. It's off a 3.2L but I've been told that it should fit. Even if it needs a little modifying, it'll be better than what I have. Hopefully should arrive around Wednesday next week. In the meantime, I'll dust off the injection system and I have to fit a pop-off valve to the airbox and replace the airbox to manifold connectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 4April, 2019 Report Share Posted 4April, 2019 If you need things like injector seals, intake boots etc, let me know. Pretty sure I bought a whole stash and didn't use due to going efi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the injector inserts and out insert seals for the 3.0SC manifold if you have them, but think I've got new CIS injector seals 28 minutes ago, Zelrik911 said: Looks like Pelican Parts has one new OEM left in stock for $USD145 Cooling Fan Housing Extension Part #: 911-106-055-01-OEM https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/91110605501.htm?pn=911-106-055-01-OEM Thanks Zelrik, Looks like this is for the 3.2L engine. I believe there is a slight difference, but it should fit - at lease with a little mod...

There's a few of them on eBay. firstone and NaFe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaFe Posted 12April, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2019 My viking hat/syndey opera house/alternator hub extension arrived and promptly fitted. I also fitted a pop-off valve, new manifold injector inserts and before I knew it, the injeection system was back on the engine Feeling positive i know where the electrickery wires go too. its funny, with the injection system back on, it really looks like it will never fit back in kombi haha AdRock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rebuilt my original kombi box with a taller 3rd and 4th gear to try and span out the RPM, but havent done the best job. Especially now I its come over from the UK where the general spped limit has gone from 70mph (110kph) to 100kph. In reality its the other end that needs attention - i.e. 1st and 2nd gear. If I go hard off the line, there isnt much to the first gear haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaFe Posted 27May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 27May, 2019 And that's the "4 bolts" people talk about I'd almost forgot how much of a pig this was to get all lined up, with very little space lol. Major update yesterday...I finished connecting all cables and hoses Saturday and bled the fuel system before my mate came over to hold the fire extinguisher: I cranked it over a few times to ensure I had oil pressure. Then after a few cranks, the engine fired up! I was so relieved - I was very nervous that I may have done something wrong along the way. I did have an air leak coming from the intake plenum boot between the metering unit and the throttle body which is partially down to one of my take offs being so close to the firewall. So I will need to relocate that takeoff for a better fit and to ensure I get rid of that un-metered air before I start tuning: Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
