So, part of my new found energy in getting my Dingo up and running again also includes undoing some of the changes that were done over the years.
One of the issues is that there is no fuel tap atop the fuel tank. One of the angle iron pieces welded to the tank was bent sideways to support a component holding the fuel line. There's also a 90° elbow atop the fuel suction line rather than a banjo fitting running under the protective bracket.
What's the most correct form of Fuel Tap to fit here?
Are one of
these going to be correct?
Also, what about coils and suppressors. F48582 doesn't have the screened leads any more and the coil is mounted on the 'firewall' rather than on the side of the engine. Once I get things done up right, should I swap the Coil (a Lucas Sport model with a brassy finish) for a more correct looking coil like this
coil sold by holden?
Also, has anyone bothered to get one of the vintage wax batteries with the links between the cells replicated on top of the battery?
The ultimate goal is to look as WWII correct as utterly possible, slowly and steadily. Post war bits will be removed if possible.
I do plan on making a few concessions to ease of maintenance by adding some service ports in the undersheilds that I eventually hope to make up.
