          Might come up with something at some point , the new set up is great , very easy to adjust and the alt wont drop or move even if the main bolt comes loose , might have a deeper but standard size pulley at work i could " try "

              Looks good Dave, the door seal idea not work out, would have saved the finger

                  Looks good Dave, how long did that take you to do that?
                  Not including the A+E time to mend your fingers ​​​​​​

                      Repaired the rear roof panel , headining was coming off and the hardboard was warped quite bad .
                      I have some hardboard but went with a mega thin sheet of fiberglass which I covered in some 2mm closed cell foam to get the correct thickness .
                      Reused the original clips and headlining part.
                      Came out all right - no more warping one hopes
