G'Day

just made a swanky locking tool for the pulley http://www.aulro.com/afvb/1765347-post108.html with a terrible drawing here http://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachments/members-rides/51362d1348204911-project-gimpy-3-land-rover-110-high-capacity-picture1.jpg but it works :)

Anyone got dimensions for the 2 pins?

I know I can use a drillbit, but as its cheap to machine up here I am making up the full set plus the puller

On the puller subject what M size or bolt diameter is the main pulley bolt? I am outstation so cant measure it and was going to get it made whilst I am away ie remote Land Rover tinkering

I made the flywheel locking tool by drilling and tapping a 1/4" BSP plug to 6mm and turned the end of a 6mm SHCS to 5mm to fit the slot in the flywheel.

I think there's a piccy on here somewhere, I'll try and find it.

Cheers if you can as I can email it up to my machine shop and get them to make them up

Gives me something to do as nothing to do at or around this hotel.

Found one.

I used an SAE flare to BSP adapter that I had on the shelf and the blanking plug is beneath.

So this is the fuel injection pump one?

What size BSP thread and what diameter pin?

I have to sketch and fax to the machine shop

Flywheel locking pin.

As I said above, 1/4" BSPT into the flywheel housing, and the slot in the flywheel is 5mm wide so I just used bits I had to hand, including the 6mm SHCS with the end turned down to 5mm to fit the slot.

ahh I got it... I was misreading the bsp as a thread size not a plug size.....

that should be easy enough

It is a thread size, it's 1/4" BSP taper, just one of those anachronisms where most everything else is metric except the bolts and nuts on the prop shaft flanges which are 3/8 UNF.

Except as I keep telling you Dave, it's a BSPT thread, not metric, it's just that 1.5mm pitch is close.......

mechanic.

not swarf monkey....


it fits well enough and nothing gets broken.

and the rest of the thread deals with how to change the belt with no specialist tools just incase you round out the bell housing thread.

British standard.... thats one of them oxly morons, like military intelligence.

[uninformed]

actually the BS and Whitworth type threads are a very good design

[Blknight.aus]

as the old salt who explained nuts and bolts to me when I was learning about them.

Witworth has a relationship between thread pitch, diameter and the AF of the head.

If you know any 2 of those items you can work out the rest and because you know the thread type once you know the grade of metal the standard torquing values apply so you know how tight to tighten them.

cheers guys, just catching up on this thread as the notification went to Spam

Should be enough info to be able to fax the machine shop tomorrow as looks like I am stuck away from the truck for another 2 weeks instead of one as have to do a side trip to Thailand end of next week

time to buy some new cheapie t shirts I guess :cool:

anywhere better than here, we taxid accross to Singapore for a decent feed and a beer
