Thanks Fab, the Nomad must have the external oil lines located differently - can't get to the Drifter ('99) tensioner like that .
Have made a new post detailing my solution .

I know I won't, but after the estate sale, somebody might want to...

It's a 2004 Nomad, but I believe it should be exactly the same on a drifter.
It appears that the guy in the video managed to access the left side of the camchain tensioner without removing the tunnel.

- July 06, 2025, 03:02:47 AMI have searched Mods & 1500 forums but haven't found the answer - vague memory of someone cutting out the tunnel altogether and adding a different air filter system !
Have done the Gadget / Chuckster extender for the right side cam tensioner .
Now starting on the left . I have unscrewed the right end of the tunnel . The tunnel is exposed / free on the left but I can only wiggle it , doesn't seem to want to pull through !!
Wasn't a problem when I stripped down to the bare frame in 2012 – but I'm not doing that again .
Trying to escape to Queensland for OZ winter , damn .
