Timing tools

My vehicle and is fast approaching 100k and although driving like a new car I am unsure how it has been operated in the past.
I would like to change the timing belt, water pump and auxiliary belt.
Wanting to do things correctly I am looking for the cam/crank locking pins/tools etc.
(I do not want to use bits of drills.)
Anyone have a link to a supplier.
Or dimensions to enable a set to be manufactured.

Do you think that those are really necessary?
I've seen timing jobs done without any locking tools...
In the end, it's really only a job of properly tension the belt because you can't miss the position and the number of belt's teeth if you properly mark them.
Yes, if you install the belt for the first time, you need those. But in your case the old belt is in position and you can see and mark its position vs. timing gears and count the number of teeth between marks. And then the new one fits exactly in the old one's place.
Just my 2 cents...

I just did the change on my freelander 2 2007.
You will need the tools to lock the flywheel when you tighten the pulley bolt.
It's torque is 60nm which is not much..... But the extra 82 degrees turn is really that requires a locking tool.

WARNING: the tool I bought needed to be modified a bit.

It's single tooth grabs the flywheel. However the flywheel is not flush with the starter motor flange. It protrudes a few mm's.
So when you mount the plate it will rest against the flywheel. It's not much but it will hit a few teeth. So I filed of the tool and used an additional two thick washers to keep clear.

Is it genuinely possible to do this job just by marking the belt? I consider myself a good mechanic without fear of doing timing belts, but equally don't want to start the job without having the right kit to finish it! Could someone with the kit give me an idea of the diameter of the locking pins?

The timing pins are not the issue, a couple of bolts or drill bits will suffice for that but as previously stated, the locking tool is needed to be able to undo & retorque the crankshaft bolt.

And yes, even when using the timing pins I still mark the old belt, pulleys & new belt. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.
