Steves cvh rebuild

[lancylad]

Realized that my new block did not have the hole to accept the sensor (pick up) for the ecu which reads off of the fly wheel. So, out with the drill and holecutters, deep breath and a rum and coke. It took a while and afew anxious moments but the hole is now done and the pick up is in place. Hope my cardboard template was good enough...destroyed a couple of hole cutters in the process.

Getting so frustrated waiting for the parts to arrive from the uk, cant put the gearbox back on till I replace tha front and rear seals.

Which seals exactly? I would think they should be available someplace on this side of the pond...

Sorry to not respond sooner. One of my daughters has been in hospital for a while now, been quite a time for us all. The tranny is the ford type 9 five speed. I need the front and rear oil seals. I have been getting my parts from Burton in the UK, delivery is usually 7-10 days, dont know what has gone wrong this time.

Got hold of Burton today, they have been holding on to the order because one part was missing. Spoke to a terrific guy in sales who is literally putting the order together for me and doing his best to get it into todays express delivery. As in going to the parts dept and picking the bits himself.. All things being equal, I should have the parts by Monday, Wed at the latest. The guy in sales is Paul Sargent, he handled the situation with class and a great easy going manner, very proffessional.
