Hi y'all

hope you guys are all well, plenty of snow here in the uk at the mo

gives me some time to work on me major i have now come around to putting the front plate, that goes on before the timming gears, and there are a couple of bolts there that require some more locking tabs(orginalls had not been put back on) so no idea what im looking for.. also in the book there is a funny shaped locking tab thing on the end of the camshaft (which is also missing)

if anyone could put me onto something that would be grand

Thanks again dan

anyone have any ideas ?? thanks

I don't have any idea on where to get the locking tabs. I would probably use Loctite or other similar thread locking adhesive. I am not sure but I think locking tabs have been pretty well superseded in modern machinery by adhesive locking.

Here's a scan of the workshop manual showing the tabs. Making them shouldn't be too difficult - must say, I haven't come across any supplier of these. I re-used the originals together with loctite on the threads.

There's a tightening sequence. Let me know if you need it.

Best

thats perfect many thanks if i measured the bolt hole centers hopefully i could make some again

thankyou
