Default Re: Magneto and belts

I has as I said bought parts to the BA block with AB parts ( camcover and cam and the magneto shaft ) and try get it to fit the pre 39 generator and to use the 32 fan.
Mix is not easy solve.
At this stage I cant change cam as to much time/money in it.
Anyway I find and bought BA car pumps so my idea is to go 1 belt with a tension puller, but that need me to get all groves out to free belt hit the camcover.
This was not something they did do in the old days but I will try.
As my front cross is cutted I has space for RT pumps and that will solve issue, but I dont like the pumps and then the generator and fan need be replaced, sounds not a big issue but I invested time and money get those parts plus I like the look ( idea on heads/intake/carbs/aircleaners/generator is from Hetfields roadster )

Why did I leave the 3-bolt camcover.
Well I never found a angle adapter or a magneto and then I ’thought’ the 8AB desl on belt was the solution even if I really did not like to use the AB parts, but once find the magnet, then I got a cam cover and then the cam I wanted to use ( the 425 Potvin )
But mix it with old style generator and the 32 fan get it harder.

Best idea here is use all 8AB parts in front of course.
Now I will bought a radiator ( has work on it for 6 month ) and see how it fit.
By the way, not easy find a decent V8 radiator so collect parts take time.
…then one see the next isdue :- )
