    Yet more spending, im building a vast parts collection aswell as devastating my bank balance


    These originally came from (so im told) Sean (Srs-1's) old red xe GSi, and im told theyre kent cams, but the end stamp is 'BP270' and i thought 'BP' was piper, is it not?

    Also they have a 'GM' stamp on them so ill guess theyre remanufactured/reprofiled standard XE cams yes?











    And another shiny to get rid of the horrid standard one....







    Brand new and unused as can be seen in the pic


    Ive also stopped working weekends at the pizza shop i was at, so more free time for me to get to work on the nova = good times

    Looool, nope theyre 10" and just too big unfortunately, so ill just be using the one i think, two 8" ones should be spot on though, but youre still limited as to how to actually fix them on as the ties that go through the rad are only really meant to take up any slack in them apparently, they would probably rip free under road/driving vibrations and such if theyre not securely mounted!

    I reckons your right about the cams being Piper, the two Piper cams I had were marked with BP as well

    Nice collection of parts Spud, should be very nice when its all done

    We ended up mocking up two metal brackets which pick up on the original bolt fittings on the rad itself and we shouldnt need to use the ties for anything more than taking out any play in it, and possibly




    Cheers Edd, since its clearly no longer a 'drop it in and job jobbed' affair, ive taken my time to buy proper bits and some rather fussy shiney bits too, im hoping it should look awesome once finished, and not go too badly either
