Hi Christoph.
Yes you found out apprx the same as myself, the arms are not loose items. Prices in Norway for a OEM clutch is high and LUK dealer is 10% lower in Norway....meaning I could not find it cheaper than apprx 1500 EUR...!
I have come to that if no one knows about these arms as loose items, I will just make new ones myself or repair the old ones.
I will make a full report with description and pictures and release when I am done with the engine swap.
I am not planning to extend the frame and I hope I can avoid moving the hydraulic oiltank as well. Not sure about this yet, but will give it a try.
In short, here is a brief overwiew of "to do":
-The orginal radiator fan has to go and the original airfilter as well.
-Moving the radiator fwd and add electric fan in the front of radiator will hopefully give enough space for the hydraulic pumps.
-New brackets, custom made for hydraulic pumps.
-New engine front support bracket, custom made(maybe I can use one from the MB trac 1000 an slightly modify it. Not sure about what to do yet.)
-The oil pan needs to be modified to suit the front axle bellhousing
- Modify the oilfilter bracket to fit the oilfilter above the main frame.
- Custom fit of new exhaust pipe.
And for sure there is something more which i forgot mention ;-)
