I just centered it by eye. Seems pretty good by eye. Even tried a screw driver and slowly moved it onto the pulley while running to see if it would hit and stop but seemed to be an even sound.

Well... Small update. Gonna swap the fuel filter out tomorrow. She likes to completely stall out around corners. Hopefully its filters and not return line. Also bought it a t5 for 100. Needs find a shifter lever and a filler plug. Anyone got the thread pitch and size? Or go to Holden?

So... Last Friday I dropped this off for a LHS freshen up and a small rust hole repair.
4 days later the wags dies on me and is still dead.
Thursday or Friday arvo just gone I received these pics.





Definitely not my week.

I don't think I have seen a VS hit that badly with the rust stick for quite some time.

Just told the repairers to fix it... already put a fair amount of cash into this car. May as well add a bit more...

Who wants to buy a manual 5L wagon?
