Ok the 2004 M13A and 1999 G13BB power steering boxes are not the same , the banjo fittings on the G13 are smaller than the M13. Had to swap pumps this evening.

Also, the rad brackets on the M13A don't match the holes perfectly on the G13 chassis had to clean the G13ones and paint em will fit tomorrow.

A few minor inconveniences along the way to add interest and stop you getting bored!

It's funny that there are variations in bolt holes etc given it's changed very little. there are only 5 years between the two jimnys on this project.

Ok Engine in and Gearbox, Clutch kit ordered and will fit before I go any further. Rear engine mount shot so need to buy a new one and stick in the brake shoes. I think the M13A engine and gearbox is about 10mm longer than the G13BB because when I dropped in the engine and gearbox the rear engine mount didn't line up with the chassis by 10mm.
