hope you get it sorted as this is a cracking car will be when its set up!!
-
thanks again guys.. it still fairly slow progress tho lol..
*wee update
we have founda cause of the problem. The balance screw doesnt screw.. there is no thread on the t.b part for it to bite and move..
also we are struggling to get it to idle - with the screw fully in- it still needs a tad throttle , but i think once the balance has been sorted it'll idle ok.
So i have to photo the lacking thread area and email to jenvey as they dont believe me lol..
Once they believe me hopefully a new part will be winging its way out..
More at the weekend i feel.

Pics of said problem.. Grub screw completely removed and ive ecked the clip out the way for access/photo..

The grub screw tries to go into the clip but lack of thread on arm/other bit stops it doing what i should do..
This is the balance screw..
-
Bugger, at least its nothing mega
btw, If you need any clearer pics let me know and i'll pop down any afternoon/evening
-
Tis a bit strange that!!
Depending on how far out of balance they are you might get away with a small bolt, and a nut on each side of that plate (to lock the bolt)
Or just tap a thread into it if youve got a tap/die set
-
option 1 i dont think will work..
option is best, but have no idea what the thread is and im ****e at D.T..
will see what jenvey say.
-
Looks about M6.
Or drill it bigger and M8.
Does that clip definently not have a thread in the underside??
-
lol pics must be misleading you its a tiney hole..
u see the hole doesnt go all the way through..?
so the clip (that ive moved on the piss in photo) is a thin C shaped think that just keeps them together..
its ok, i wont bodge about ,we'll see..
-
Like it, looking forward to seeing more pics.

*minor update
Jenvey told me to fetch the whole single 'body off and post it back to them for a new arm to be fitted so off it came and off it went last week.
In the mean time i decided to play with other minor detail bits that i enjoy doing and have missed doing: starting with the rocker/coil pack cover a piece of stainless bent round the coil pack as it were..

Also i was, with the more access now available, able to try my smaller, better, nicer alternator top mount..

Works and looks much more discrete than the bodged engine lift eyelet/bracket lol.
Finally i spent the rest of the day sorting the wiring loom in the car; was able to sort all the driver-side fit the fuse box back again all nice and back to being neat.. .

Just the passenger side to do; once i can get at it..
But yeah, hopefully next time, after the weekend it'll be running again as ive taxed the car this week so its all road legal again lol.
We'll get the t.b back on a synched well-enough, finally..
More soon.
One thing that is bugging me lately tho, although its not a priority at the moment the stainless corsa manifold i run on the car just sits far too low; its too long for the nova engine bay..
Anyone know if the idea of having it shortened its too far fetched..??
