Warning to those with exposed timing belts (GRAPHIC!!)

WOW that's amazing, your a lucky boy.

 

I bought the UK one .. will be using on my car

 

Car....engine.....some boxes...hey what's that on the block of wood?.... SWEET JESUS!

The recent pics look great when you line them up against that - hope your recovery is continuing smoothly.

Agree with the blood-splatter theme on the timing cover, would be hilarious!

 

Sup Brad?
Yes it's the same cover as you see in the UK. I got mine from Gonzo, he still uses the forum. Hit him up with a PM

 

Thread dig!
Thought I'd reincarnate this as I still get asked how this finger is. It's hard to believe this happened over 2 years ago. I took some pics of my finger this morning to show those interested how it ended up looking. *These pics are with flash on, so highlight more than natural light.







Though it is a little fatter & a bit tighter movement is pretty much spot on. There is feeling in the end, but it is very numb & if it is a light touch I can not feel it.
I also have to shave it once a month as it does grow fine hairs as the graft was taken from my forearm.

A very similar thing happened to a friend of a friend (mechanic) last week. According to my friend he was cleaning the belts with a brush (why I have no idea), it grabbed and pulled his finger through the alternator pulley.

 

its a decent scar thats for certain.

it actually looks like a burn in some pictures (to me anyway)

 

Now textured for her pleasure.

 

Omg!! Lucky man to still have his finger!

 

or his...

Still looks painfull healed!

Fitted that took on my old job lost a couple of fingers while cleaning a drive chain on a machine.

I heard about another guy who done the same job for 15 years - then one day cut off a finger. Spent 6 months on disability - 1x month on light duties, then his first day back to doing his old job - he cut another finger off...

 

Did you put the timing belt covers back on after that episode???
