That's why I asked - the bonnets shape around the headlight looks to be slightly different to the nm35 headlight itself

Pic for your reference although no bonnet, you can see where the "tabs" sit in relation to an NM headlight.

less gears in an auto the better ;)

You'd better get in touch with Mercedes, it's time someone with real insight told them they're doing it wrong...

Oh no! Based on Aarons' advice I just bought a 2 speed Powerglide tranny to go in my M35. Back to the drawing board I suppose.

Spool that baby up Leon; 8000rpm stall = mad skidz bro!

LOL at Aaron's successful trolololol

Nah mate - you haz ultimate- NO gears!

How'd that work out for Nissan :ph34r:

Too hard for Mr average no-brain to service with correct fluids at the correct intervals (on that note, I wonder how often - if ever - people change the filter near the cooler).

Nothing wrong with that transmission Alex, just the tool behind the wheel/under the bonnet.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
