I tried Cheapa Auto Spares when I had to use one of these babies, $40 for a tool I'll probably use once or twice? No thanks... so I know how you feel! I have heard that Repco sometimes LEND people tools - you could try asking someone there nicely. Otherwise, you could use a set of verniers and a bit of guess and check.

No one's got one to lend or know where i can get one???  :P

Be helpfull if we knew where you were.

I've got one but i'm in Croftby 1 1/2 hours from Bris (25Klm south west of Boonah) Could possibly be in Bris befor Sat

thanks fellas...but the fella who'se puttin it in tells me he can make up his own, all he needs is the 2 diameters around the input shaft...

Maybe this is a chance for a group buy? (if it turns out that is works that is)

Or the chance for SAU to have one on hand for members.

most people use a spare input shaft, which is what I've got

shanef you are welcome to come and get it. If I go into town befor weekend I will deliver it. give me a call 5463 6707

align the clutch by feel if u cant get a inputshaft

put the clutch and pressure plate on so the bolts nip the 2 but u can still move the clutch. feel inbetween the flywheel and pressure plate and u will feel the clutch move it around untill it levelall the way round do the bolts up and thats it

dont waste youe money on clutch alignment tool they are useless

well thes clutch is in, no problems at all!

All we needed to do was machin a piece of metal (my case stainless hehe) to the size of the input shaft, and a few others. But yeah input shaft would be the best bet.

thanks all.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
