thanks, iv put a lot in to it really, prob more than its worth ,
its ready to be dropped in now mate, got fuel pump on , manifolds and carb, oil filter housing and new dizzy
just waiting for a week off to get hold of a new galvo chassis then it can go in

gearbox was done to the same standard,

funny you should say that, am after another after this one

i'll have to admit, mine is nothing like that, pics are to follow for how i'm getting on, thanks for everyones advice

lookin foreward to the pics mate, yer got the timing wayed up yet ?

hoping to get it sorted in the next week or so, but been very busy at work at the moment

yeah , been busy me self, out defrosting water mains, somethin to do with the weather aparently ?

your job sounds far more interesting than mine, i work in a pub

dont take redundancy yet , am on me way up fer a beer with yer one day ,

least yer findin time to get yer series done, i try and make time but it never works ,

i wish i could get redundancy, dont worry, i aint going anywhere

i'm getting there with it

yer just missing a few piccies , everyone likes pickies, , makes it easier to explane when yer got a pic to look at , can help with stuff easier

Hi, Just as a question (i've just purchased another 2 1/4 series 3 diesel, after a 8 year break!)
With my previous 2 1/4 diesel, I remember that the pump mounting bracket had been filled to allow further retarding?)

Even though I replaced the timing chain (with a dial gauge), it was still happiest in the filled slots. - question is why?

Also I notice on your pictures, the mounting bracket appears to be the 'pinch type', does this bracket give the extra flexibility you need?

regards

David (happily back Drovering!)

timing wasnt accurate enough meaning master spline wasnt 20 degrees from front securing stud,worn skew gear and cam teeth ,pump not set up right
