So its 13mm across so which m number should it be ? Not worried about the length as I can cut it down

Is 13mm the dowel or hole size ?

Dowel measurement from side to side.

Why would rimmers not sell the correct dowels , I've spoke to a few people and they all have the dowels where mine are which are horizontal to each other .

£2 part stopping me from dropping the engine in !

I think this might be the correct dowel, it's listed for PG1 boxes fitted to T series engines http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-CAM7824

At long last I have the gearbox dowels , now the question is how to is install them correctly without damaging them . there extremely tight fit and I've tried with a hammer to knock them in but seems I were doing some damage so stopped .

Help?

Stick them in the deep freeze for 24 hours.

Jason04r · 07-10-13, 06:15 PM

You mean the freezer right ? Lol

yep, liquid nitrogen works better, but I doubt you have any of that.
