Thanks  for the ( sort off) offer though. 

 

Might as well buy one as I plan on keeping the car. Weds sent me a couple of pics. Its a Sealey kit so should be ok I think.
The wedge is a different shape, but cant see that being much of a problem.
Wedge is same shape as the ones in these Chines knock off ones on ebay.

Donald is acting like Putin or Xi. They don't have to worry about being re-elected but, unfortunately, he does. Everything he does can be undone.

Threepenny bit.

also a sixpence, and a brand new at the time 5 bob on a Barclays bank sleeve.

Denmark?

Iran?

Welcome to the new order!

I'd post you mine to borrow, but can't remember who I leant it to.  Might have been Webby the Bear, but my memory doesn't go back that far

Any kit will fit any engine if you swap over backing plate.  The lines printed on the cam belt won't line up though.

The only slight gotcha is, as mentioned earlier in thread, later engines used a non-adjustable lower idler.  This can be retrofitted back to older engines (don't reuse old idlers).


Problem with all of the kits you will find is they were probably manufactured a fair while ago, and likely old stock.


As others have said, most kits will actually use SKF bearings.

the "fits all models" is true to a point . on the later ones you can still fit an adjustable lower pulley if you want and obviously fit the new stuff to your original top assembly (never sure why you got a new assembly anyway ? were they prone to failure ?)
only thing im not sure of is i dont know if a later lower fixed pulley would work on an earlier car ?
you could also swap pulley centre bores if needs be !
i bought (like many on here) a few of the delco kits that were around a few years ago for £25 each.

Also, as I sort through things, I’ve come across some sequential £5 paper notes, coins like the early 50p and £1,coin and the old 3d s. I also seem to have most of the different designs of the round £1 coins.

There’s an oil-filter box full of old halfpennies and similar coins.

It’s all getting sorted, but it may all be scrap or, at best, face value. I have a flyer from a market trader who buys gold, silver, medallions, and coinage, etc. He offers around 50% of the value of old coins and notes.

Even found a 5 bob coin still in its sleve.

Threepenny bit.
