Simple Question - Timng Belt and Front Seals Project

Post by tabercro »

Hi All,

I'm wrapping up a timing belt and front seals replacement on my 1985 SR5 4WD. In the process of reassembly I've encountered a small bracket/clip that I don't remember removing. Photos below. Please remind me where this goes. Thanks for your help!

There should be two wires that wrap over the top of the timing belt cover. One to temp sender, the other to a sending unit right on the front. The clip you have typically holds those two wires as they wrap over the timing belt cover.

Good Morning Tom,

No problem, keep up the good work. I'm not sure where you reside, but we have a fantastic member (more often in the unrelated Facebook group) that has a few Tercels now AND a couple of the old Volvos. He is doing a lemons rally with one of the Volvos this year after taking his Tercel last year, a super guy.
