Hi Steve,
I am pleased to tell you the timing belt is in, your information sheet was a must.
We started with a check list of tools needed to do the job and found we needed only the 6mm x 20mm bolts on your list.
A quick trip to Bunnings Hardware Store sorted that out.
We then did the job in the numbered stages that is in the information sheet.
As long as it is followed to the letter, there is no problem at all in fitting the timing belt.
We had to cut down a 8m hex key to get at some of the bolts but that was no major problem.
I must admit that a friend with two small hands came in real handy when it came to putting it all back together plus a few bourbons.
While we were at it, we also put adjustable Gaz shocks the back and the front that I had imported from the UK.
The Elan M100 is running great, and I will post a comment on the elan central site as to the value of purchasing your information sheet.
If I can do it, then anyone can do it.
cheers Steve ..regards ....Paul
