Subject: Re: V12 timing gears
Dear Laurence
I am away for a few days and can't check the junk folder on BT Internet from my iPad for some reason. I check the junk folder regularly on my computer and it had not got that far. I called it a washer but as you say it is a machined component with a diameter that locates in the idler gear spigot. Strictly there are no capitals in the email address but the systems usually ignore them these days. I will double check the members list when I get home.
Do you have any original tools with your car? Who made the body? I have about 50% of the original tool kit including the valve Spring compressor and have just had a new tool tray cut to replicate the original in the boot lid. I was thinking of posing a separate note on the subject of tools. Do you have a handbook for your car? Does it specifically cover the S2 showing the engine oil filler on the cam cover? Also does the wiring diagram cover the fact that the oil pressure and temperature are electric gauges rather than bourdon tube and capillary? Auto Sparks in the UK list a wiring loom for a V12 but I think their pattern was an S1 car. Once I know what I need they have invited me to visit and go through their drawing with a view to upgrade for the S2 requirements. All the handbooks I have seen show the S1 oil filler arrangement. If you happen to have an S2 wiring diagram I would love a copy if possible.
