revilla Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Looking for one of the metal guard / guide things that secures and protects the K Series engine loom where it passes across the front of the block under the crank pulley. Anyone got an old one kicking around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted September 14, 2014 Leadership Team Share Posted September 14, 2014 Don't bother, just secure it in place using a couple of cable ties through the holes in the oil pump Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Whilst I can see that is a possibility, I would like to do it "properly" especially as this is a loom I'm building for somebody else.

Even if it was suitable for 3D printing, the effort of getting it all set up sounds like a lot to go through for something I'll be able to get from any old Rover in a scrapyard for a couple of quid - I just wondered if anyone on here happened to have one before I went digging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team c7trp Posted September 15, 2014 Support Team Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have one on an old VVC loom. I think you'll still have my email addy from the alternator bolt - send me your address and I'll chop it out at the weekend and post it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 @c7trp - I know I should have your email but I couldn't quite dig it out so I'll send you a BM in a moment. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
