Help!harmonic Balancer Needed In Nz!

Recommended Posts

Guest NZ16v

hey guys, this is my first post, but have poked about a fair bit, gettin great info here and there. I own a BX 16v, which i have had to crack open for various reasons, and do a fair bit of rebuilding along the way. Removing the harmonic balancer off the bottom of the engine, found the pulley wheel is properly stuffed, and has been rather badly repaired with pins-i really need a replacement, new or secondhand one. Can anyone help out? They are $300NZD new over here, and if i have to pay that i will, but if someone has a tidy 2nd hand one knocking about, i would prefer not to spend that much!!Especially since i have an English import, so there is the mandatory rust to remove, sunroof out, full respray, new tyres, bla bla bla, you get the picture!

 

Any help in pointing me towards one would rock my NZ world,

Welcome aboard Alex,

 

$300NZD seems alot to me.

 

By way of comparison, I recently got a new GTi6 one for $158AUD (not that it would fit your BX).

 

Check Ebay Aust, or try Aussiefrogs.com

 

Good Luck

Hey Alex

 

I'm in Upper Hutt, would be keen to bring my 4bie round and see your BX sometime?

 

Also if you need any spares check out Chuni Govan. he does my work and seems to have good connections for parts. Put C Govan into Whitepages and he's on Moores Valley rd, Wainui.

 

If your keen flick me a text, 021 2900 787
