Hi Dave, It may be a bit of a frankenstein machine ,but it looks good to me :D your picture answers a question of mine , how they fit the tacho into the control box its easy , make the box is bigger ! John |

Hi John. Thanks for that! :thumbup: The readout gubbinses are fitted in the bottom of the box. (Right hand end, here)...... Just below where the leadscrew passes through! I've fitted an angled piece of plastic under the screw, to keep it from rubbing the wiring........ Incidentally, the new belt arrangement is blummin noisy! Would a shot of WD40 do any harm? :scratch: David D |

Used to use Lubriplate # summat, can't remember, on timing belts. Instinct says not wildly excited about hydrocarbon solvents on ( probably) rubber. So, Margarine, Hand cream, pork dripping etc. etc. should not do much harm. Dunno really, helpful eh?? BC PS Low cholesterol marge of course :) |

Some belts have rubber and some polyurethane, they hate different lubricants. Some handcreams render some plastics spongy and frail. Tooth belts will cause noice, specially at high speeds. Also wrong belt tension can cause all sort of problems. PekkaNF |
