I own the timing cover below, it came with my engine when I bought it and until now never needed to look it up on minispares etc.

Not being funny mate but I found out the hard way too, its not a new problem, nothing to do with Minispares though Edited by Sprocket on 21st Aug, 2011. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

i don't think you can get a different one. you just have to modify it slightly with a hammer :) My project Toyota powered mini: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...tid=470448&fr=0 |

I put my duplex kit on today. Deft use of a hammer and punch did the job very nicely. |

Everyone knows about bashing the breather to clear the fan and cutting the circular part inside to clear the duplex pulley but I don't think many people know about this. If I've saved one person from making the same mistake then I'm happy :) |

I bought a cover off eBay, the injection type that has a factory flat canister rather than a BFH type flat one......

Some Austin-Rover diagnostic sensor that could fit in there, and used the tin plate with notches cut in it, that we generally drill the 3 rivets to remove from the back of the pulley.

Ah that makes sense! I took it off a while ago. The tin piece will be coming off the pulley when it comes off again :) |
