If it's any use, I've got a grey motor harmonic balancer removerer and a grey motor harmonic balancer whacker-onerer that you are welcome to borrow. Not essential for the job, but handy. Let me know if you want them and I'll throw them into the post. Don't have a timing cover seal straighten-uperer through... damn things go for over $200 on eBay
.
Cheers,
Harv (deputy apprentice timing gear fiddler).
Just got off the phone with Tony & it sounds like he has the timing gear stuff figured out, Harv. The harmonic balance is the later version so I've got the puller covered (so has Tony) , so thanks anyway mate.
But with all the 'specialist equipment' you have you should be (head honcho timing gear fiddler!).

Why do you want to put dents in it?
I thought they were fixing it

Dear readers of this thread....
I have to put one small thing straight here...
I work in retail, so therefore that means
I DON'T GET TIME OFF DURING CHRISTMAS AT ALL (only Christmas Day) so alot of work on this car won't be carried out during the Christmas/New Years season. Time off is a no no between December & Febuary.
But fear not...it will be done just alot slower during this time..as work is hectic as you may imagine.
Scotty.

well while I was doing the clothes washing I was able to get the bulk of the old front stone tray unbolted & cut off...
If I have time this arvo I'll get to & make some cardboard templates so I can see what I need to cut in steel & rod.
Before the 'experts' tell me 'you don't need to do it that way', my answer is .."it's the only way I can do it...so sue me!"
:before
:after
..as you can see by doing this I take away a whole lot of steel that's shaped to the old bumper. Quite a lot of weight in it too!
Oh yeah..this is for Tony...radiator & bits have been removed as ordered.
Scotty..slowly gettin' there....
