Lathes and mills are for sissies. Real men use a chisel and a file! 

[Broadside]

Lol, sounds like a Monty Python line!

Impressive!

I still want a lathe and mill

  A few more metal cutting and forming tools would be a dream   A community workshop would be nice.

  More cobbling today ! I’ll have to purchase larger diameter pullies 1 v and 1 flat and a few M7 bolts to finish this stage of bending the belt to clear the firewall and brake lines.

  Nothing is simple on a renault engine. I needed 3 m7x.75x50mm bolts , HA,try to find them,... I guess I'll just go with a retap and a 5/16 nf 2inch bolt .
    I am also looking for 3 crossflow long head bolts.

Any mechanical/industrial/auto supply shop should be able to source M7 fittings.  Heck, I just checked homedepot.com and amazon.com, and they both list them.

[dakazman]

  Really , I found lots of nuts but no bolts . The .75 thread count for the front cover is needed
Maybe I put in all the specifics.  I’ll try again.

The front cover? Are you sure they are M7x 0.75?  Mine weren’t. M7x1.0 across the board.

[dakazman]

  Yep, you’re right again John. Thanks
 My glasses are in need of change. I used the quick plastic feeler and read the wrong side , not seeing the 70 pitch line. ( you can see it in the pic easily)
  I’ll be going back to the metal scale.

I find Mc Master Carr has most fasteners (and everything else) and has very quick shipping.For US folks only.

  Thanks Exlimey, I looked into them but it seems they only have bulk 25 bin units . We used them and grainger at Delta.
  They did have the idler pullies I need in assorted sizes. 🙏👍👍

   Now to locate those m11 head bolts for the crossflow and maybe a rocker assembly.

They will also ship to Canada as well.  Just not to a residential address.
