For a 1999 2RZE Toyota Hiace, might need to swap out the alternator belt. I was told there's a spacer in the alternator bracket that can be removed to slip off the old belt and put the new one through, anyone know how difficult it is to remove and re install this spacer?
Just adding a wood fire stove to an old camper van to help with heating and cooking. Looking at modifying a basic Kings model so that it can be used safely and efficiently in an enclosed space. I've noticed the manual says it's specifically for outdoor usage and was curious what would need to be done to convert it to indoor use-able..
Gas leaks are my main concern, as apparently burning wood puts out some pretty lethal stuff.. Also, would it be possible to modify it so it has secondary combustion to minimise smoke/gas output? I put together a firepit a while ago with the secondary combustion and it actually worked pretty well, though not sure how it'd work if the fire box is completely sealed from the vans interior.. Maybe an inner chamber through the chimney pipe to allow extra oxygen to allow a more efficient burn?
Will pickup a gas detector + fire extinguisher as safety precautions, as well as tricking out an appropriate hearth setup,
Any advice appreciated,
cheers
