Timing chain guide tensioner G161

Post by Asroc66 »

Hi Team
Wondering if anyone can tell me an alternative to genuine timing chain tensioner/guide for the G161
That is of course unless someone has NOS willing to part with
:D

Hillman may be a solution?

Thanks Flying
way ahead of you
A sample arrived of the Hillman guide this week and it is thicker and shorter than Bellett
Could make it fit at a pinch
put it down to more R & D......
