Hi Chris.

The first picture is the device you use to bolt to the front of the engine block and the big lump of aluminium that's on one side of it engages with the recess in the crank pulley. This is only to undo the crankshaft nut. Don't know what the actual position of the crank is when the thing is fitted but suspect that the crank will not be held firmly.

The second pic, is for locking the flywheel. This is one of the bits I have bought the original of. I measured it for Gary and he has reproduced it for sale.

HTH
