    Hi the large pipe feeds the turbo the small one feeds the injector pump the vacant hole is for the combined oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning lamp sender unit. If you cant find one just put a standard oil pressure switch in. Good luck Andy

    Perkins P6 288cu in straight six indirect injection diesel engine.sorry i did not think.I thought every one new what a P6 was.This conversion is a very tight fit and uses the original 4 speed crash box whith the correct conversion bellhousing as used in the early bedford O model.From inside the cab and externally you would not know,until you start the engine.It is pretty noisy.To fit anything bigger would be a chopping excercise and not my scene.If you need any more info let me know Andy

    Hi Adrian after 17 years my 969 hit the road and after all the work i was very pleased and surprised it ran great and nothing fell of and every thing works,my advice to anyone restoring any vehicle is concentrate on one vehicle at a time and dont get side tracked and buy something else like i did. good luck with the 980 and keep in touch Andy
