Finally got my blower drive completely sorted. I wanted a nostalgia idler pulley arm, the type that clamps around the snout, The original bracket type idler arm was real ugly, had a look around the net and was horrified at the prices upwards of $140 for a decent one !!! There were lots of thinner ones for cheap money but I wanted a minimum of 1 inch thick.
Luckily my mate Paul found some 1" aluminium plate at work so I decided to make my own, found a website with dimensions on it so marked out the plate and popped to my mates to use the Bridgeport mill.
Took about 3 hrs to make up but well worth the effort.








Once home again I sparked up the polisher and gave it a good going over, luckily the aluminium plate was real good quality so it only took about 45 mins to get a nice shine on it.








All I need now is a belt and that's another job struck off the list











My electronic speedo turned up so finish wiring the dash could be ticked off the list too
I only had mechanical speedo kits in stock so had to wait for one to arrive.
The dash is easily removed by undoing 5 x 6mm button head bolts, the dash is wired through 3 x 6 way waterproof plugs & sockets so can be pulled out in a few minutes.
