Needs must. Nothing is beyond salvage, given infinite resources. I could recover those. But I'd go to Sodbury and see what I could get that's better first.
Yes! Exactly! I saw your earlier posts, and have book marked them.
If I don't get the dimension, I'll make it up, must be nearly in line with the gutter.
Incidentally, the aluminium bars that are inserted into the hood, how do they attach to...
Well I knew someone would come along and say they pull a horse box with two horses in it round the world twice a year,since 1990 . I did say its my opinion now i might change it and fit two turbos like a D4 !.Only joking. what is IP?

Does anything have the distance between the fold of the door frame and the rivets?
Much appreciated!
Tricky. Almost impossible to stop the grit getting in. I used duct tape extensively when I did the complete back axle on my 101, sort of worked, but it was a Salisbury, so well sealed. I used wooden blanks to seal the front axle on my...
It's quite a few hours work. Anyone good will be charging £30+ per hour, so it could be pricey.
If I was doing it:
I'd start by getting it blasted, identify what's really bad.
Unpick the spot welds. Day? Jig it up, then weld. Day?
Blast...
Oh, photos of the"stuff". I don't think there should be any. Everything should be immaculate. I use brake cleaner and an air line to clean everything after washing in kero.
Camshaft related, so.
Possibilities are:
Oil pump
Skew gear
Dizzy
Fuel pump
Rollers
Followers
Push rods
I'd start with the rollers, can be seen from the engine side by taking the side plates off.
