Ok, so I quit my whining about taking the headstock apart:
Two questions, who is a good source for serpentine belts? Last time I checked I fell down the rabbit hole of specific belts for specific cars. Could not find a place to order a belt by length. I was hopping to just order one from McMaster or MSC and get it tomorrow, but got lost in there catalogs. If I can't find one that I can get quick, I'll just go with the nylon/rubber belts from Al Bino.
Second, what's with the little wire thing on the right side middle of the picture?
It was wrapped around the front of the spindle when the spindle came out. The only thing the ILION book mentions is four "oil control" clips. I don't think this fits the bill. It looks like a thin AL foil strip. It's .007 thick and about .065 wide. Not long enough to have been all the way around the large spindle diameter, but was wrapped around the large spindle bearing surface end. It was not between any of the other stuff captured by the spindle.
