Actually @Machinery restorations I should nt give you any advice or help at all ! I have twice asked you how you get the finish/clean on your lathe restorations and have not even had a reply

The forum search should be your first port of call. Spencer has revealed all in the past. Of course he may have improved his technique in the interim.

Wasn't where I thought I remembered, but "cleaning" as topic and "Machinery restorations" as member finally found it for me.
I see he's updated it a little now.

Evening. Any of you chaps know how to release the cambelt tensioner. I need to remove the tensioner/body from the bottom of the old water pump to the new one.

Now that you mention it…..

It's been a long time since I worked on one, but I have a vague recollection of needing a big lever on the old tensioner. Slacken the nut off, lever it back, then tighten the nut to keep it held back so you can get the belt off. Then release the nut, swap the pulley, and lever it back in so you can get the belt back on.

@James1979 that's for the newer tensioner.

A new camshaft seal is needed to I think.

Yeah but….

I made the mistake of thinking (assuming ) he had the F1A engine which is what I had. Was 10 ish years back I did mine.

Different engine it seems.

There is an F1C variant if this one (8140) isn’t right @Machinery restorations

He’s got the manual inbound so will be able to see for himself when it gets there.

Edit. Just looked at the the F1C and that’s a chain so won’t be that then.

 

[m_c]

That's the one. I'd forgotten you were meant to put the spanner over the spring loaded bit.

I do however remember my foreman at the time doing a belt on one, and needing to get another tech to help him get the new belt on, as it was extremely tight. It was only after rebuilding the front end, and going to put the old tensioner/idler pulleys in the scrap that he realised they were different sizes.

OK I think I understand how it works. That spanner/spacer is pulled back to realase the tension

Got it. Thanks for the pictures. Appreciated.

 

[God mode restorations]

OK. New camshaft seal ordered. Got some steel plate to make some new bumper support brackets. Also going to need to replace crossmember to chassis brackets. These bolt in thankfully but are rusted beyond safe.

 

[God mode restorations]

Got everything now to make new brackets. They will similar to the iveco ones just stronger.

 

[God mode restorations]

Basic shape cut out. A slight difference but it still do the same. I will add some stiffening braces later. And the is another support bracket that comes off this panel.

 

[God mode restorations]

One bracket done minus the holes. Draw filed nice and flat and a slight beveled on the edges to eliminate sharp bits.

 

[God mode restorations]

OK. Have got two brackets done. Another 2 to make. A new waterpump/thermostat housing connection tube on order. The connection tube is the most absolute fn ridiculous idea I have come across. New O rings and clips.
