Silvers has the entire assembly for £170 ish, Wemoto has just the blade part which is all I need for £45.

My metalwork and electronics teacher worked on the Bluebird for the water speed record with Donald Campbell.
When I applied for my electronics apprenticeship he gave me a glowing reference and I was successful. 51

I pulled the ones out of my PD50’s by heating carb body with a hot air gun. Wrapped a pice of rubber tube around the jet and it pulled out pretty easy.

I need to remove mine to restore it. Do you lever it out from the front or remove the whole alternator cover and push it out from the back?

I’ve used the baking soda / superglue method, it’s works very well. Sets like rock instantly.

This is my post about the subject, it was for my 650 though. I’m in the process of rebuilding my 550 at the moment so I’ll probably go for thicker o-rings again. 58

Are there alloy ones available for other models?
Just in the process of stripping down my 550, haven’t closely examined my tensioner yet but I know replacements from DS are £££. |
