MG TD TF 1500 - Crank pulley torque spec

Can any one give me the torque spec for the crank pulley bolt. I'm ready to install the radiator and need to do this before I forget. The WSM is sadly deficient when it comes to specs

I'm waiting for a new MGB fan from Moss on Monday and should be ready for initial start up Tuesday night.

Bill, don't forget the shims under the bolt. These are required to ensure the bolt is properly aligned to "crank start" the engine.

Bil,
The T-cars came standard with the proper torque wrench for the crank pulley. Stick the hand crank through the bumper and radiator, engage the crank bolt, then yank as hard as you can. Retorque frequently.

Bill,
You will have to make up sleeves to fit the MGB fan.
Send me your email address and I will send you my catalogue sheet which has useful information on fitting these which can be a nightmare if the radiator is already installed. I provide these fans already sleeved for the TD. There will be an article on this in Totally T-Type either the next issue or the issue to follow.

Declan. I have seen this done so many times I thought it was a direct changeover. I have my stack blade in place at the moment. The new one won't arrive until Monday. Will look for the article. Email to follow

Cheers.

Bill,
It is not a direct changeover. You need to sleeve the fan to centre it and the holes are all slightly different sizes and much bigger than the original bolt shanks. I made detailed measurements on this issue.
No email received
