The lights will steam up but soon demist re the scratches I'd highly recommend trying Plastex before going to the expense of changing them.

the one from Pumabuild isnt a 4 paddle one..

the 4 paddle ones are meant to be alot stiffer.

who says you have to change the flywheel.

ive had three clutches in puma ownership and never once changed a flywheel.

had it skimmed on my last puma but not changed.

only the release bearing.

the wheel is nice and clean the guy who i bought it off said the best way to clean it is get a tiny bit of washing up liquid on a spoung and run it in ver gently them wipe it off and it comes up new again but it dunt look new to me lol

the other part of the wheel is worn too so i am goign to get another one.

pumaspeed sell the cambelt kit to fit yourself how can they do that if you need a special tool??


I guess you can buy the special tools somewhere or you can always make them yourself...
If you wan't the specs for the tools, have a look at this:

Good luck with the car

According to Ford TIS the both use tool number PZ21210?
Or are you thinking of other settings?

why wont people ever believe us that you do need a special tool too set the frp timing when changing the cam belt.

how would they use the same tool when the cams are totally different??

my tis says that a special tool is needed and where to order it from.

also look here.

Are you sure the Alcantara gaitors will match as the fabric is a special colour not a standard off the shelf one.

That's a pretty substantial piece of kit! Let us know how you get on with it! It reminds me of that machine they used to dig the Channel Tunnel for some reason...

Looks very nice can see one or two of us on here are going to have a bit of competition keeping up with you Craig. The Vasman will have to buy even more polish to compete.
