Haha , I know who your pal is & that was quite unfortunate :( there was a high bit on the bonnet wher a previous owner dropped the bonnet down on a socket or something like that . Hammers are always good at persuading stubborn metal :-D

Big thanks to Calibra guru Craigyboy for coming to the rescue last night & fitting the new belt for me . Still can't believe you need to take the mount off & split it to fit a poxy £ 15 belt >:( ImageImageImage

I had to grind that part off as the cast was cracked so just
drilled it out with a 8.5mm drill bit and used the longer bolt.
