850 Destruction

[dablik]

Things are not going as planned visited Aircooled Sunday morning to beg borrow and steal some tools and udder stuff and as the afternoon got sunny took advantage and got a little more painting done.

 

I wanna know who stole the thrust washer then !! Haynes makes a point of telling you not to lose it but i aint got one in me replacement, and remember my original rotor got binned so no reference from that.. not one in the replacement starter i have either, i wondered if Haynes had made a goofy but Fowlers fiche verified it as well, guess i better get one then....you'll have a lot of fun iffin you go lookin for oneodem daps me old fruit

Also previously dismantled the output shaft as far as possible without resorting to pulling cogs of with gear pullers and ordered a replacement circlip per Haynes method of measuring only to find the fit is a bit looser than i would like, so phoned the nice chaps up at simply bearings for a bit of circlip info and repalcement on the way, had been wondering iffin the mk1 output shaft circlip (which is actually a snap ring) would fit the mk2 shaft but the mk2 2001 is approx 3mm wider in girth around the shaft groove, whodathunk it ?

 

And while i think on, the rotor windings bolts are always a pita to get out and often get drilled out, i wonder if they were originally staked like the other bolts in the pic above ??

 

Onwards..
