Have bought the parts from eBay and Facebook marketplace. Need a grill wider than the existing one to fit this bumper. Pretty stuck here

This reply might be a little late for you but I did a belt change without the official tools. You will need to machine a set of camshaft locks. 2mm thick steel will do and roughly 50mm square but you will need to measure accurately. Drill a hole in each and add thread through a piece of string so you can tie them in place. You'll need a crank locking pin but can insert a screwdriver. Make sure it stays in place though. You'll also need rods to lock the cambelt tensioner out. A suitable nail can be used. You'll also need to hold the verniers steady while you unbolt them from the cams. I used a great big adjustable wrench. The only other thing is a 17mm Allen key to remove the drivebelt tensioner. I bought a socket which did the job perfectly.

Hi this is the best I can do with photos.i think I've done it right

Thanks John - no offence made, but I think it’s only right that owners are made aware of what the situation is, in order that they can decide whether they wish to be involved or not. To try to box this up, although the arrangement will be made between yourself and the owner, any insurance cover would be between the photographer and the owner. I think you (personally and not involving the photographer) are being very fair to cover any costs, and you have now openly coloured in the relevant details to allay any suspicion. Please don’t give up hope that someone may come along to satisfy your requirements. Kind regards, Gareth.
