How thick does the steel need to be for the bit you need. Got some old wings in the back of my P1 but I suspect they will be too thin. Might be easier than cutting bits out.

Ah ha that reminds me I have 3 wings, a pair and a spare - I forgot as they're not at my house lol

So I could use the spare to repair the hole??

The attached picture shows a hole roughly where mine is in the rear pillar, where the seatbelt unit bolts in

Actually taking the inner skin from your car Andy means I have the captive bolt & hole without any fuss etc

Removing a good skin and welding that in is massivley time saving and much better.

Just get LOADS of underseal in there after

As above, that'd be ideal, i'd also suggest assuming the hole is twice as big as it looks and sizing the new metal accordingly. Wink

I haven't got any underseal, but can bring some primer for the inside face.

It is worth buying cheap cambelt, tensioners etc from ECP as money is tight but then again I don't want to but parts that break in a week lol

That's my worry poodle, that and a cheap water pump but kash is king and I don't have much lol. Is it worth getting a cheap GSF/ECP one as they would sell crap??

For the belt itself, dayco or gaites seem to be the way forward. Or genuine pug if you can afford it.

The dayco kit I usually use seems to be worth it though.

Ecp stuff seems to be fairly decent

VECO kits are decent enough, used by some manufacturers as OEM spec.

Gates would be my first choice...but when you are on a budget...end of the day, they aint guna make a belt that wont last the time till the next change.

This is my worry with cheaper not so know makes. Maybe worth spending a few £ more for piece of mind?...it will be cheaper and more convenient than a blown engine lol

Has anyone got a pic of a 306 waterpump as I've seen 2 different types for my car, I've never seen my waterpump so I've no idea what it looks like and wanna buy the one lol

The post code as a reminder is hr2 9as

I've chosen this as a meeting point as the actual industrial estate is impossible to find with a satnav As it sends you to the wrong area entirely

What time do people think they can get to Hereford from where you're travelling from? The meeting point is a petrol station on the main road, my unit is about 3 miles from this point

Yes, locks garage, you'll be heading past it coming from the motorway north or South So good meeting point.

Stock up on kitkats then convoy to the unit
