Despite lots of searching around, it seems it's impossible to find a wind stop, the open weave mesh type, either new or used here in Oz, needed for an '02 TF.
MGF&TF Bitz appear to have them sometimes but not at the moment.
So, does anyone have experience with a solid clear perspex type? I vaguely recall seeing a pic or two with these fitted to an F/TF, so if they would work as well as the fabric style, I'll attempt to fabricate one - fixing brackets may be a challenge!

Just looked at the Rimmer's catalogue diagrams and the non-air setup doesn't have the pulley.
Apologies if I caused you concern.

Mine is a 2002 TF and definitely has a tensioner pulley associated with the alternator (ancillary) belt.
It has air con & don't know if that makes a difference. 18.png

Just replaced my auxiliary belt and found the tensioner pulley bearings were shot. The pulley rattled around something awful!
Might be worth checking that too - the belt will not run true if the pulley isn't running straight.

Wow, thanks Cobber. If you find they are superfluous to your needs I'd be happy to make you an offer.
I have two sons, both in St Kilda who could potentially collect from you and bring to me in Adelaide.

Wondering if any of my fellow countrymen know of a source for the stainless steel underfloor coolant pipes here in Oz.
My '02 TF has badly corroded mild steel jobs as proven by a recent coolant change and flush x3 which yielded a muddy looking mess of fluid.
Bitz in the UK can provide a second hand set for GBP40 but the freight to Australia is a killer.
Any suggestions appreciated.

My MY02 135 TF has paint code JRJ but I'm not sure of the name.
I've looked at the How to Guide but can't find this particular code.
I think it's called Tahiti Blue but would appreciate confirmation. Also, are there any variations with this colour?
Many thanks, Mark.
