Nice one Olly. You and Colin would make a great team!

Get some 15mm plumbing pipe (only about 20-30cm) and put it over the silicone breather tube. To protect it from the belt. You can get it in silver as well as copper.

Those Denso Alternators use a 10mm to 8mm slightly tapered bushing as standard to make it easier to fit in confined spaces

Great vid as usual.. Sorry to hear that you are getting more fun out of fettling the Elan than driving it; I thought it was just me..! Hopefully your mojo will return after the trackday. Btw, try using a thick walled silicon hose for the dipstick tube breather..

You have a tooth belt on a non tooth pulley?

is that negative or positive earth please
