@ Romadog It's NAS /50th. (Just remembered I never rang Big Cry )

So where it would normally go, I have the header tank and PAS pot. I'm going to lengthen the loom and fit it under the passenger seat. It looks a bit of a 'mare to get wired up though. As is the heater hoses, pas pump etc etc

I also have to modify the headers as one pipe hits the knock sensor Big Cry

hey greeni, are you all sorted with rad hoses? ive recently found the correct ones for my build - a process which took ages! ive got the p/n's.

also, do you remember the part numbers you used (or photos would be great) of the transmission mounts you used? ive got the p/s sorted, but still struggling with the drivers side - and this after spending 250 quid on a set for a v8 which didnt fit Big Cry

I'd love the part numbers please, I spent around £300 on hoses and most are useless Crying or Very sad

I'll see if I have pics of the mounts, or I'll take some tomorrow for you. Are you running a zf?

I keep telling myself it'll be worth it!!!
I had the 50th v8 hoses and it's all different because I have the serpentine front cover. I figured the more hoses I have, the more I can cut up.

So your pas pump is at the top right?
What box are you running?

Well I just bought a 50th bottom hose and it fits correctly. bizarre eh. PN is PCH116030. The only weird bit is that it seems the hose is long enough for the expansion tank to be on the pass side, rather than drivers side like on my 200tdi.

Mine is a 4.6 serp setup for EFI, so no distributor at all, its blanked off. The PAS pump is indeed on the right (pass side). I also have an AC compressor on mine which is top left. If i can figure out how to host some photos ill get some uploaded.

oh, the box is R380 (with uprated internals and limited slip centre diff Very Happy)

thanks for the pics. id say the pass side one is slightly different, and i cant see the drivers one properly. there isnt much diff required to make it not fit.

for info i bought these ones. These are absolutely for a def v8 so thought it was ok. none of it fitted apart from one of the chassis rail mounts and the square bit which bolts to the box Sad

order one of these today, which is the item marked 2. you will see that the actual mounting point is centred, wheres as the one above for the v8 is offset.

im hoping the new one fits as its another 50 quid. its also NOS and obselete according to LR.

On a 50th the header tank is on the passenger side and p?S reservoir on drivers.
All hoses will be 50th ones - I know as my 110 has them.
I'll be after them all again for my 90 NAS project that I have started Shocked

Pics would be fab.

Well I may have some hoses going spare Thumbs Up

I have pch 116030, it may fit, the problem is the heater hoses, I have one outlet/inlet coming from the front centre of the inlet manifold and the other is from the offside.
I bought the 2 solid pipes that are on top of the off side rocker cover on a 50th, but only one can be used Neutral

Quick update..

The engine is in and I've been hanging around waiting for a few parts to arrive. The steering pump mount initially.
Before.

It turned out the mount was a bit big for a 90, as it is for a p38 with aircon

So, a little 'roadkill' engineering, I got it to fit

Now the belt fits Cool

Greeni did you just cut the mount with a grinder. Have to do this also and wasn't sure what way it would turn out if I did cut with a grinder.

Looking at that first link, item 2 is the same as I have for the offside. Ntc1201.

At the second link, I have NRC 5743 item 1 as my near side mount
