They do look like those shims!
Those weird old citroens

Or, are they the ones at the front of the cam extension, behind the pulley.
That's a bit easier to get to.
Do they measure:
20.5 x 27 x 0.5 and 20.5 x 27 x 0.8
If so, they are :
D 231-93 and D 231-93a for adjusting pulley tracking.

The funny bit is ... They have never been on an ID19 I've pulled apart before. I'm guessing this one has never had the motor/box split in its lifetime
Usually when we pull a box off, we take the pulley off, but don't remove the cam extension, so we would never see these shims. They just sit there against the bearing, out of sight.
It's only if we pull the cam extension off that we find them.

I never removed the cam extension ..... weird
You might have tipped the box on its nose, and not noticed them falling out.
that's probably it ... can the shaft be removed from the front ... or do I need to pull it back out and split the box/motor back apart ...
No, look at the parts drawing I posted.
The washers go in from the front, before you put the pulley on.
They should slide in through the bearing retainer, which is screwed into the housing.

Oh, they fit through the bearing retainer. Ok, now it makes sense. I had no idea how/where they had come from given that diagram showed them buried inside the extension.

Sparesbox is pretty good. This is their EBay listing for Bendix Dot 4, 4L for $38 with free post.Does anyone know where to buy 5litres bottles of brake fluid these days? .... or know of cheap brake fluid on clearance anywhere ....
If you jump on their website most of their items are free post on there as well.
I've bought a fair bit of stuff off them, cheap as, and quick delivery.
PS, I see you found the EBay listing I was going to attach.
cheapest brake fluid I have ever seen. I've grabbed a couple of bottles. I probably should get another and flush it..... I'll flush the tank with metho before I fill it. Given the snail paced progress ...... we are talking weeks and weeks away
They are based in Vic so you'll get it pretty quick.cheapest brake fluid I have ever seen. I've grabbed a couple of bottles. I probably should get another and flush it..... I'll flush the tank with metho before I fill it. Given the snail paced progress ...... we are talking weeks and weeks away
Last thing I bought off them was the spark plugs for the F100 a couple of of weeks ago (they aren't a common plug), 1/2 the price of anyone else with free delivery.
Supercheap also do a 5L Gulf Western Dot 4 for $59, but it looks like you have to to order it in.
I gotta say, I approve of that simple green heavy duty I ordered in.... magical stuff in the ultrasonic cleaner.
This time I tried to verify everything as I re-assembled. Would you believe the accelerator pumps leak ... pour petrol everywhere (I bet they do on all the cars, and I've never noticed). I tried sealing it with aviation gasket stuff as its fuel proof. it stopped maybe 80% of the leaks... but the diaphragms were just to far gone.
four accelerator pump attempt later, this one leaks a tiny amount after being sealed up with gasket maker. There is actually two different types of accelerator pump. the earlier one seems better.
Then I noticed the petrol also pours out around the base of the squirter around the plate and screw. More investigation found a missing seal under it. It still leaked a LOT with a seal fitted, so I fitted it with aviation sealant .... and its now dry.
this stuff takes forever when you end up doing everything five times over
I will order in a rebuild kit (or 3) for the cars, but for now in theory this one should work fine.
Oh FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!
I also managed ot pull the center jet out of the carby throat without smashing it off. I pulled the tower out and clamped it in a vice, then gently tried unscrewing the jet ... and it moved
This is a first

Does anyone know if you can buy just the accelerator pump diaphragm for the Solex 34 PCIB carby? That is one expensive carby kit .... and I probably need three of them

Is he running the CCOCA club shop now? I hadn't considered approaching them.
