Just looked on the GSF website and there seems to be 2 types for a 2.1
20024E SILENCER-BQ T25 2.1 112 BHP Water Cooled 8/85 > 11/90 86.50
or
20024 SILENCER T25 2.1 112 BHP Water Cooled 8/85 > 11/90 59.50

whats the difference other than the price and BQ after the more expensive one?

Maybe the 'E' stands for Expensive? :lol:

BQ stands for Best Quality ,and as it suggests it is a better quality silencer(most likely the grade of steel) :ok the E probably means the manufacturer..ie Ernst..Mark

grrr snapped the first bolt with my new stud extractor, a lazer "impact stud extractor" I have a blow torch now to try heat cycles. I have seen drill outs and if I mange to get out any unreachable studs I will get a drill out for the snapped one. at least I know how much a stud can take before it snaps.


the stud extractor is really good but I will try tapping the end of the stud whilst I try to undo them.

Well at least I have started making some progress, I have now removed one stud and snapped 5, and two have so little left on them nothing can grip them. I started drilling out one at the front with a "drill around corners drill" I got most of it out and realised I have wasted maybe £100 and about 15 hours. So spent 2 hours taking everything off ready to remove the engine (that at least was enjoyable).

I am removing the rear splash shield with the engine and engine bearer, mainly because it has corroded onto it, will get a hoist and then grind off the engine bearer nuts as they are corroded too.

The thing is now, when the engine is out do I:

1) take the engine to be drill / tapped professionally

and then

2) send off the carb for a service

3) try and get the thermostat housing also removed as it is split by the corroded bolts. I will need a replacement thermostat housing if anyone knows where one is? it is the plastic one.

4) get new tinware

5) what about engine overhaul at the sametime?

6) paint it red :D :D


or does this simply make it much more expensive, than it is worth.

I changed the clutch a couple of years ago but could not get to the crank shaft to change that seal, I could maybe try that again.


All of this on my drive as I dont have a garage.
