There are a few bits still required for my 2.5P to 3.5 V8 hot-wire refi conversion and would be grateful if anyone here has any of these items for sale or can advise sources. Some of the stuff is NLA or very costly; so far 'parts' add up to more than the actual engine and auto, both which came with nearly all the bits and ancillaries.
So, I am after any of the following:
  • chassis engine mounts - couldn't get the Disco ones.
  • V8 radiator - Disco 1 V8 in 90, to go in 'factory-spec' position
  • efi fuel pump - in tank or external - I don' think the manual disco V8 in-tank one fits?
  • viscous fan cowl and fittings - V8 90/110 cowl but is the viscous fan on a disco V8 different size?
  • oil cooler - (got pipes off Disco) RRC bog brush or e.g. Mocal ?
  • circlip for auto selector lever handle - is it special or will any old circle of the correct size fit?
  • shifter housing console - lights up the gear selected and covers the shifter.
I'm in East Sussex.
Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Ian,
Not sure if D2 parts will work on a D1 but if so I could do with the auto selector illumination panel AWR3700:

Haven't got hold of the engine yet to check but as its a '92 D1 it might have one of these RRC types BTR9924LNF:
BTR9924LNF - AUTO SELECTOR ILLUMINATION ASSY RRC.jpg
If either fit then it's a winner although I'm sure there will be some modding/fabbing needed as I haven't the centre console.
I don't think any of the other items I need would fit from a D2 V8 but if you know better please let me know e.g. air filter box, auto oil cooler, rad.
Many thanks
Jon
