Great to know you had a good trip.

Next time, if you are out California way, let us know we would be happy to put you up! Maybe by then I will get my project back on the road Some day I hope to get over that way too!

How long could you wait for the swap?
I am sure I have a black one here I would be willing to trade, I am just not sure what shipping would be and how long it would take. Not a heavy item, just bulky.

I was just perusing this thread.
The LHD models were produced in Canada, my Dad had a friend who had a GT (sadly it went to the wreckers before I could get my hands on it).
The things I do know about LHD have already been stated (hydraulic clutch, slave cylinder mounts directly on the trani), lights ...

Welcome Chris,
There are a handful of us from this side of the pond on this forum.
I'm down in San Diego, used to go through Eugene once in a while on the way up to Corvallis, but haven't done that for a number of years now.

Enjoy the forum!

Thanks for the follow up.
Yes Ebay does provide an easy way for a scam

Has anyone seen or read the following book:

Isuzu Bellett
ISBN: 9786130746049
Editors: Miller, Frederic P.
Vandome, Agnes F.
McBrewster, John

Seems to be a compilation of history stuff from Wikipedia etc.

Any idea who got it? Anyone known to this board?

Thanks, this is great (and easy to download)!

Just out of interest, what about the missing sections (3,9,10)? Were these just fluff?

OK now having perused much of the reset of this site I see there is a lot more history already here than what I know.

Here is what I posted over in another forum just to get it in the right place here.

Joe,

There are a few posts in other forums about the history in NA.
Here is a copy of my post:

Trevor,

Welcome to the forum.
I am always interested to see other US owners of vintage Isuzus. At one point I thought I was the only one (having brought a couple down from Canada with me), but as you see there are a few of us around now.
Maybe we ought to start a States side club

My goodness, I forget to log in for a few months and things start coming out of he woodwork.

Joe,

Nice to see your posts.
I thought Mark and I were the only ones over here with these little beuties (at least on this board).
I am down in San Diego and have a couple of Belletts (not GTs though).
I'm ...

I had meant to do this about 6 months ago when I joined, finally got around to snapping a few pictures of my 65.

This is the backside of the LUV pump with the plate removed.

Here is the backside of the LUV pump, notice it has a plate screwed on.

Here is the backside of the original Bellett pump.

I had realized I also should have taken pictures of the backside.
While Glenn was busy replying, I was doing that.
Yes there is a hole in the backside of the outlet that would need to be plugged.
I suspect you could find or make something to screw in that would plug it.
(see pictures to follow).

One last picture here, there was a gasket that came with the new one.
I scanned a copy of it and hopefully this will come out as actual size
(print on 8.5x11 paper).

Here is the LUV pump. (Bomba de LUV in spanish, has a nice sound to it

Note the direction of the outlet.
Also note that hole 1 does not exist.
That may be the real sticky point, but I think it could fit still.

This is a closer up of the original Bellett pump.
One thing to note is that between holes 2 and 3 in the picture there is another hole.
On my engine there is no bolt in that hole. I mention this because on the LUV pump (next picture) there is no hole there.
