400 Cam Chain Tensioner Arm
« on: June 29, 2017, 09:27:38 AM »
Any places other than DSS to source a replacement tensioner arm for a 400/4 that people would recommend ?  I got my last one from Peter Arnold of PACRE, but he seems to have disappeared ?

I stripped the engine of my 400 last night and found that the pivot point of the arm has been chewed by the cam chain - not enough for it to seize, but enough for it to feel a little sticky at the extremes of it's movement.  I did clean it up with a small file, but I think I'll replace anyway to be safe !

I think Phil Denton makes replacement ones in stainless steel.   His website is phildentonengineering.com
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

You can also get them from TTR400:

They are distributed in North America by 4into1

Not cheap - but gorgeous - I considered buying one to mount in a frame and display on my mantlepiece ;D
