Alex B Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not too bad isn't it ?

dobbo Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 You do know there are two widths of cambelt, don't you ??? Fingers crossed that's all you fried. What do you need - I'll see what's in the garage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a couple of covers in my stash. I expect Alex will fit them one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
