|
The turn key "donor" vehicle used is the Jimny with airco and power steering.
|
|
The fire wall is an exact fibreglass replica of the original,
that already had the stampings cut-outs for LHD.
For the LHD version it would just mean drilling the holes in the fire wall,
the holes for the steering and the holes for the window wipers on the other side.
|
|
The transfer box of the Jimny does not have a neutral when it leaves the factory.
That box is modified to have a neutral, so the wheels will not rotate in the water.
|
|
The "donor" vehicle for the future KIT version, can be the most basic Jimny model,
without the power steering etc.
Drilling your own holes on modifications are then necessary.
|
|
The exaust system is internalised.
|
|
The hand brake is internalised with its own disc and calliper.
|
|
BIG question NOW is what the axle load of the empty vehicle is.
Is there enough load capacity left for a full tank of gas
and four persons with luggage.
or will this vehicle only be allowed on the road as a two seater
with a 20 litre fuel tank.

|
The rear drums brakes are changed to disc brakes.
|
|
The hull is an unique twin tunnel design for greater stability and safety in rough waters.
