Thanks to all for advise and suggestions,. now looking around for damper and bracket, will report back any success (otherwise I will go for the Opel part from Europe).
Toe and heeling...I have big feet, so can be done!
re the damper, once engine is up to temperature, I have never had a problem w/o the damper, but suspect the damper may assist in the warm up period until the engine is up to operating temperature
With regards
Steven
