i have a 65 so42 westy and mine has got to have the very same panels replaced as you have done. it's looking scary on the drive at the moment but will be cool when it's finished. yours is lookiong great and has given me hope of the final result. well done it looks a cracker.



if it ain't broke don't fix it

My old pulley had surface rust and pitting where the belt ran so it was time to replace it, at first I bought a stock Brazilian pulley from German and Swedish and a new belt. However this ran off-centre by about 5mm and there was a droning noise when I got to 50mph!!! I decided to buy and fit a Scat pulley. This is an excellent piece of kit, it runs true, has allowed me to fit a new belt with no problems and seemingly has made the engine a little more perky!!!
