The teeth held and it worked perfectly. I don't know what I would have done without that flywheel lock, so a massive thankyou for that, Bill. Cool
Do you plan to venture down here at some point? Otherwise I can drop it off next time I'm up your way.

Replacing the lower guide rails is as far as I've got with the chain replacement so far. The rest of the parts are on their way from the classic centre as we speak.
You may test drive it when it's complete, but that will be a while yet.

Hi Tim,

I will be going to meetings in Fremantle the next two Saturday Mornings so might cross the river and drive by on the way home if it suits on one of the Saturdays.

I am still happy to help with the chain swap if needed when you are ready and quite happy to try out the new "Koan Design" valve lifter on your car so long as you have a grinder handy to make any "adjustments" if necessary and it would certainly make the chain fitment much easier.
