The twinmotor-adaptor is not a Gigglepin-design, but made by an Australian company, Flamin Fabrications. Although Gigglepin sells them in the UK :-) And a support-bracket does come with the adaptor :)

Yes I have given the edge of the bonnet some thought. doesn't look too clean as it is now. Perhaps I should do as you mention, and then weld it together with the supporting structure on the underside. This hould also give back some of the strength, now that I've removed so much from it.

I think I'll keep the rubber boots for the motor connections. They do provide some protection against short circuiting.

Edit:
Yes, really need a bigger alternator and also another battery. I'm planning on installing another similar battery in a few months, and putting the both in the back. Don't have rear seats fitted, so this would be the best solution regarding weight distribution :)

Took my poorly Jimny over to Todmorden where James (J999PRE) kindly showed me how to tackle checking and rebuilding the hub for leakage issue's, learnt a lot and will have a go at tackling the other side myself. I now have a nice clean hub!!!!!

Cheers James, top guy, ;-)

Did mine also.. took a total of 15 minutes using my trusty electric impact wrench!.. even jacked up the other side to tip the oil onto the seal before packing up and its still fine.. :) success :)

also finished putting the rest of those extra 6 inches between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.. only problem now is I have to do the bracket for the load proportioning valve... anybody got a photo showing the standard one so I can guestimate the size of the bracket on mine..?
