Yeah, I already saw that, searched ebay first - now I've got the Sykes catalogue downloaded too!

It ain't gonna still be on there by they time I've got some ready's too hand - that kit I found looks pretty identical though doesn't it?

Yeah, the one you found looks pretty good!

I find that bidding on eBay is just a form of procrastination.  Everything rockets up in the last 15 minutes (or less!) and you end up nowhere.  If you really want/need something then you are better off buying elsewhere.

Chris, you can use the same approach to buying the kit as you did to getting my cams. ;)

SP is excellent quality. They normally sell on ebay for around £50-£60 (retail is £150).
At that money, there is no comparison...

There will always be kits on ebay. Just keep bidding, but don't bid too high. Mine cost me £50, or there abouts...  ...but it took a few weeks of bidding.

Then again, hopefully mine will be back soon, and you are welcome to borrow of course :)

Couple of other bits you need in addition, are E20 1/2" drive to turn over crank (3/8" drive probably a bit small?), and a 30mm offset ring spanner.

.......  and a 30mm offset ring spanner.

and that is where I went wrong by buying a combination spanner that was only cranked.  :'(  
Fortunately work has since donated a suitable spanner for if/when i do it next.  ::)

I'll get taken down to the wood shed and shot for sure if I do that again, you should have seen / heard the fallout when she found out about the cams (note to self, do not leave self logged into email)

Cheers TB, if the end of the month comes and goes, or I grow the gonads to attempt it myself beforehand I'll give you a shout!

Forgive me for being dumb but but does anyone have a picture of such a spanner. I'm having problems visualising a cranked, offset spanner. This is to adjust the idler pullies while you have an allen key on the locking bolt, I assume?

It's just a deep offset ring spanner.  The ring is parallel to the handle, but offset 3-4cm.
