G'day all. I have been catching up on little jobs now the home reno's are finished for a while. I have modified the mounting for the transfercase to use the original Nissan chassis to case brackets. The intermediate shaft has been changed from the CV type 1st set up to a normal 2 joint shaft approx 14cms long.
OFF TOPIC a mate asked me to do a 4 wheel disc brake conversion on his 56 Cadillac so after 2 hours I had the front template made to allow me to use Jeep ventilated discs & VT commodore font calipers pretty simple set up & at around $350.00 a lot cheaper than buying a kit for $ 1500. aus
So simple that it uses the original Cadillac nuts & bolts to hold the caliper bracket to the stub axle.

Purge valve was an emissions job. It connected from memory to an air bleed on the fuel filter and opened once engine was hot and at constant revs like motorway cruise.i have nothing connected and it does not appear to have any side effects. As you say so much conflicting info about on google so I tried with nothing and ten years later still have nothing connected!
My reasoning at the time was why would you ever want to bleed air fron a recirculating system anyway? As the fuel goes through the rail and then the pressure relief valve and flows back to the tank. Air bleed on a loop like this would in my opinion mean pure fuel being bled into the air inlet causing a really rich ooverload.

G'day all. Well what an easy task with only 1 diagram instead of 2 tool work off. Thanks to David. Ian thanks for the info on purge I found it. unfortunately we have to use what ever the engine came with to get reg. saving grace is no cats from factory. Keep watching if you see where I may be headed the wrong way with any of the rover stuff let me know. Always welcome advice.
