Operation Bigfoot – Stage 5
Time to do some plumbing.
Power steering lines were made linking the original Chev power steering pump to the HJ60 Landcruiser steering box. While doing this, we installed an oil cooler (from GQ Nissan Patrol), and mounted it to the front of the chassis.

All the original brake lines were fitted. The fuel & return lines along with the fuel pump were from a Daihatsu Feroza, with some rebending & the pump mounted towards the rear of the chassis. Fuel tank used is from a Rodeo and mounted in the rear of the chassis behind the the diff.

By putting the tank here, we then eliminated having to use the original tank under the driver’s seat. We used a radiator and support out of an HJ47 Landcruiser. First the bottom tank was removed, and a top tank was fitted to the bottom which in turn had an auto cooling tube installed before refitting the bottom tank.

Auto cooling pipes were then made & installed.
