Tooooooo lovely

Parts will be here Wednesday. Woooooot

Just checked with UPS. Two packages at 27kg shipped to my door for 146 pound. Thats pretty bloody good I think, coming out of the UK at least anyway. Parts are now in Denmark... I am going to be like a kid in a candy store come Wednesday. Jackpot! Will source wheel bearings locally, as well as rear axle seals. Will be converting to oil feed bearings in the back. Anyone know a good one in Perth?

Parts are in Perth... Not long now.

Parts are here, going to be a busy weekend. Try and get it all out of the way first up. Do I have to use a deflecting beam torque wrench for any special reason with the timing belt?

can't use the clicky type, coz you use it to hold the tensioner at the specified torque, but theres a few tips on using a fish scale instead of a beam torque wrench

cheers... fish scale could be the way to go.. or I could just find one and buy it.. I need one anyway

I have all of the pieces together finally and can now start ripping the beast apart. Radiator and front timing cover off this arvo to inspect and replace timing belt with new everything sweet deal.
