Nasty bit, Needle Roller Bearings in place after about 10 years of fiddling. This is the inner bearing holder (nearest the compressor wheel).

With a piece of card to hold the bearings in place, I had to carefully slide the rollers in to place and then take the card out at the last second.
This is the second and upper part of the bearing support housing and was fairly straight forward to assemble. The lock nut and securing rings have yet to be tensioned.

From this picture you can see the drive gear that will power the accessories, straight from the main spindle.
To save time, and because putting this back is a bit fiddly, I have used some drinking straw sections to aid reassemble of the combustion chamber. There are five dual nut tabs that sit behind the holes shown in the image, the idea being to slide the straws through the bolt holes and in to the nuts and then the other end of the straw in to the bolt holes in the gearbox, then carefully mount them together.

Jobs a goodun, combuster now in place and straws taken out one at a time and then replaced with the securing bolts. To finish this part I will Lock Wire the bolt pairs together.
And this part of the reassembly looks like this.

The Oil pump has now been mounted with the scavenge pipe seen nearest to us, I presume the quick release connectors fit directly to the Harriers main oil tanks.

This is the fuel pump, I know piping this is going to be a headache because I'm doing all of this with out any form of reference manual, and working out a way of bypassing the governor that normally would have been fitted on the Power Turbine section is going to be troublesome, unfortunately this may even stop the project in its tracks.

 
Top view of the assembly so far, with the small oil sump at the bottom and the gearbox spanning out to the right. The accessories connection at the top right is for the starter. The pipe to the left of this is the main lubrication oil feed to the gearbox.
Pipe work has now started to be reattached, and some blanking & re-routing will have to be done.
At this point there is nothing more I can do on this project until I get a manual. I am running the risk of 'a little knowledge is a bad thing' with the CR201 through the lack of fuel, oil and venting system diagrammatics.
So its back to a patience game.

Anyone got a manual for a CR201?

Thank you Ian Bennett !!!
what would I have done without you?

Ian has very kindly taken some of his time to send me a manual for the CR201 and hopefully this will lead me to getting it up and running as a Turbo Jet.
