Not really updated for a while. I managed to get new mechman alternator from SRD (polished version) very happy with the quality and looks, miles better than stock looking alternator. I also got a new billet cam belt tensioner bracket and idler pulley, cam belt and tensioner.

 

I decided my super rare greddy oil cap wasnt good enough for the build, so i managed to win a bid on a genuine rolex dial face and bezel/glass. Was very tricky to accomplish as the greddy recess was 38mm and the watch bezel was much greater, so i had to set up the lathe and bore it out correctly. something different and a nice talking point on the engine. not something i have seen done before.

What do you think about adding arms to the watch face?

 

No point if it won't work lol. At the moment as it is I have genuine Rolex parts in a oil cap lol I'm not interested in adding hands as its never going to tick without a mechanism and if it did the watch will be around my wrist not on a engine.
