Doc, does a 1" & 5/16 socket fit the cam gear nut? I will have to buy one and it seems a bit bigger than 1" & 1/4. I rang CBC today but the reference number you gave meant nothing to them so I will take it in and show them.

Now let's get something straight....I ain't giving it to anyone of you good hearted people who have offered :lol:

My comment on their advantage in a Mini was prompted because in a mini the chain is so short I wonder about any advantage it may have except for noise. On other pommy cars which have long chains I can see a big advantage to using a belt. Sorry but all offers declined but I will have an all synch close ratio box for sale as soon as I can get it and the motor apart.

Main advantage of a belt in a Mini is- no it doesn't stretch (like Jap motor ones do) so the timing stays spot on. My ign timing hasn't changed in 18 months (Pulsar dizzy).
When I took mine off after 40,000 miles, it was still as tight as the new one I replaced it with.
It's no quieter really, unless your timing chain is hitting the cover.. :lol:

Would that be a remote box by any chance?

Yes it is. As to a price I haven't decided. I need to cover the cost of buying a box and rebuilding it if necessary.

Chris, what sort of box do you need to buy? Big bearing rod change box? If so, maybe we can look at a swap? Steve

Doc, in my Karcraft cattledog they retail for 74.25. I wonder if CBC bearings can supply as they have a full dayco range. I will ring my mate the manager and let you know.

My cattledog is the latest, last month's. :wink:

Often wondered whether CBC-BSC etc could supply these. Gates makes them too.

If you can get me a Gates Part no. T## or a Dayco one I can see if i can grab you one from work Kev :wink:

Alternatively, count the teath and width of the belt :lol:

Dave I posted it's ID above. 052R190. 52 teeth, 19mm wide.
Early pattern belt- bottoms of teeth are flat. :wink:

Made by Dayco, in Italy. :shock:

I think Gates or Pirelli belts use the same number.

Ill have to have a look kev....I'll check tomorrow. Ill have to search through the catalogue to find it :wink:
