This modification to the conversion is engineered to use a Land Rover 4cyl petrol flywheel and a Land Rover TD or TDi geared starter motor with the Perkins Prima engine. The starter and flywheel required for the first adapter are getting harder obtain and people who lived in foreign lands had even more fun obtaining them. I have fitted an engine using this adapter and will be testing it, seeing how the conversion goes and checking the engineering of it; as soon as I can. I will list parts required and any modification necessary on the following pages.

The other adapter like this adapter like this has the draw back that the breather has to be modified, while it's not difficult I don't like the solution and would rather a complete 'bolt in' conversion where possible. I have located the the starter motor so the breather and starter interfere as little as possible. The adapter casting is pretty similar to the earlier casting.

The crankshaft will need a steel adapter bolted to it so the Land Rover flywheel can be bolted to the crankshaft.

The conversion will use the same block gasket and oil seal as the first conversion.

The new adapter is sixteen mm deeper than the early one so there will be more bulkhead clearance. The starter and flywheels are available any where in the world resonably easy, see the parts page for an application list for the starter.

The top menu items relate to this variation of the conversion.

As yet I haven't priced the parts, I anticipate:

The new adapter adapter plates to be around £220.

The crankshaft adapter will probably be £50.
