Dave Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Looking for a good undamaged timing belt cover for 2ltr xe, Planning on fitting my old XE in my rally car so dont want any nasty stones in there. I did see a flat plastic jobbie that filled the front and protected all the pinch points If anybody has any info one one of these? Dave
westy turbo Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 As said on an other thread,Swindon makes them....ive mail them in the past,but no answer...time for a phone call.
Matt Seabrook Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Dave be careful the early and late engines also have different covers
BigRuss Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I emailled Swindon on Friday, they no longer sell them
Timmay Zoom Zoom Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 There are always some on e-bay, a nice carbon one at the mo. The cover is the easy bit to find, what is hard is getting the rubber seal. It took me ages to find one. Also the fixings to make the cover stand off from the belt, these are not very robust and can snap easily, then on need 25Nm or so, much more and they will break, trust me I know! lol! Deffinately look out to see if you need early of later type as they are different. Also just incase you didn't know you will need the inner cover (Normall Black) that mates to the block, sometimes this is also removed if running with not cover as its not really needed. HTH, hope I didn't say stuff you already knew!
Rory's Dad Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 There are always some on e-bay, a nice carbon one at the mo. ! Could you find me a link please?? I can't find it anywhere Rory's Dad
peterm135 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 it was a carbon cover for sale and it went for £51, i was having a punt but it was damaged, so not too fussed
Delboy Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Paul Exon makes his own infill panels. Contact exon race engines! Del
Crash test dummy Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I'm sure I've got some covers and backplates somewhere if you get stuck. I'd be interested in the price of the infill from Exon if you do find out Dave.
BigRuss Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I just had a reply from Exon, £160 plus the VAT
