Not seriously. That's not really the point of this car. The OEM suzuki ECU won't cope with it so it would become a big job.

Fine. It's insured with Adrian Flux, it cost £56.

Yes, loads. I'll try and put up a few details over the next few days.

Here is the mock up with the Jimny engine on Land Rover engine mounts.

She does now. I had a Jimny 4-1 manifold on it at first. Now I've changed to a Vitara 4-2-1 manifold it's made a noticeable difference to the mid range.

Fits in there lovely

Yes, Jimny gearbox. I wanted an engine which doesn't need bulkhead mods to fit.

Hi All

I thought it was high time to start a thread on here for my Suzuki Liana engined Traveller for those who haven't already seen it.

Just a quick update. I ordered 2 seat belts from Bull Motif as I was getting some other parts anyway. They included 6 of the mounting reinforcement plates as in the link above. These definitely aren't part of the securon kit, so that's a nice touch by Bull Motif.

Thanks for that info. There's more to it than I thought.

I think 70 is the load rating on those tyres. They are 135 R14 size and if the profile isn't quoted then you assume the profile is 80 or 82 depending on who you speak to.

Just looking at the Traveller rear seat belts on the Bull Motif website and it says that modification is required. Does anyone know what the modifications are? I guess this topic has been covered before but a quick search of the forum hasn't revealed anything.

Has anyone ever tried these? They appear to be the closest match to the original 5.20 tyre size. Are they suitable for a Morris Minor? https://www.camskill.co.uk/m4b0s4741p111100/Vredestein_Tyres_Car_Vredestein_Sprint_Classic_-_135_R14_70S_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_XC_Wet_Grip%3A_XC_NoiseClass%3A_XC_Noise%3A_...
