Cam chain tensioner bolt
Bryanj:
If that ebay one fails i would look for replacement cases.
The kit looks a well manufactured one and having checked 10x1.25 taps are available on ebay but get the taper and plug.
AndyD:
Thanks again,
I'll order one up and give it a go
Cheers,
Andy

I've ordered one as well but have an engineering firm do it for me as they need to remove the broken bolt first. Hopefully get some pictures when done.
AndyD:
Well, finally got all the bits ready to sort the cam chain bolt and happy to say all worked out well today.
Spent a fair while trying to find a way to align the case in my pillar drill but finally gave up as it all got far too complicated!
Took a gamble with hand drill and luckily went smoothly and drilled clean hole with no drama.
Tapped new thread and adjuster kit seems to fit really well (only loosely fitted so far until cases are painted).
Relieved as I can now crack on with the engine work.
Bought a cheap oven for the shed so I can cure paint without causing a messy divorce - might get painting tomorrow so fingers crossed.
Thanks again for all advice on the cam chain bolt.

Good to hear Andy. I fitted one of those kits to my 400 as PO had fitted a large bolt! I found it very easy to fit and had no problem with it at all.
Can you provide any details of the cheap oven you bought, I need to get one after being caught red handed recently holding a brake caliper with the o/h oven gloves in a kitchen that smelt like a paint shop!
