Think he is referring to the pulley.

Found I had a pair of my favourite plastic Wipac halogen headlights in stock so I whacked those in and did the relay conversion. Knocked all the dents and dings out of the lower gravel pan and header panel it's all pretty good now. Stripped the grilles down to clean and repair, start putting those back in next week. Bumper needs a bit of work where the license plate has been fitted badly and wrongly, I'll sort that as well.

Yep, straight swap, that being said I have had to nibble a bit out of the headlamp buckets

Back bumper had a big dent in the centre which was really bugging me, really needs a new one but that will have to wait. Thought I'd have a go at straightening it on a hydraulic press. A bit of trail and error with various shapes of metal and it came out not too bad at all. I can live with it now for the time being.
