Thanks Michael - super quick reply! I carried the HD replacement Rectifier for many 1000's of miles and of course eventually needed to use it (in the middle of bl00dy nowhere of course!), so that was a good idea for sure. I'll leave cambelt failure to the pickup-truck I think, but I reckon that fuel pumps go often enough to make it a wise idea for one to fill the slot now vacated by the HD rectifier. Clamp removal tool is a good point though.
