It's easier to do on the m/c or lathe, straight from drawing no need for 3d modelling etc as its just how you see it in your head, lol. If there is more difficult points to work out ie rads into rads into angle's etc then 10 mins on the cad to plot points and away you go. The thing with off line programming is they never quite get the best of of the m/c so they still need editing. That's what I've found anyway. one day boost will be mine!

Unfortunately, there isn't any discount available on our RetroSport range, but mention TM and we will offer discounts on most of the other products. Steve

I would be very interested to know what, if anything, the nice people at DSN had in mind for a crank sensor bracket.

For simpler 'one-off' items, it might be more appropriate to have it made on a 'manual' mill rather than CNC. This would increase machining time, but reduce 'up front' costs. CNC machining is more appropriate for production runs rather than one-off's. I asked at work about this when I only ever get given 200 of things to make and my boss said you won't be able to compete with what a CNC machine can do so he never takes on more than 200 of 1 item at a time CNC can cut costs when doing a run of say 1000 items than having a guy stood at a mill or lathe doing the same job just way things are going now :( be no manual jobs left by 2100 haha |

off topic slightly.. but: http://www.slarkraceengineering.co.uk/camshaft_kit.htm thoughts on this? I watch a David Vizard seminar where he talked about these systems and basically dismissed them for putting to much vibration from the crank into the valve train. I think the conclusion was that the optimum system was a belt drive one especially in high revving engines. I got my Retro Sport timing cover a few weeks ago and I was very impressed at how comprehensive the kit is.

I've spent the morning making a crude but secure billet aluminium bracket that bolts to the two 1/4" UNF holes in the small abutment, but not everyone has access to a mill. We are developing a bracket to suit the MED set-up. We have asked MED for dimensional info to confirm location, but it hasn't been forthcoming yet. We have made some based on a best guess and an adjustment allowance! If you would like to try one of this initial batch, we can do them at £12.50 + VAT. And, of course, feedback would be much appreciated. Steve

What takes up the extra endfloat on the camshaft? Ive fitted one and then the triangle but the float of the cam is huge!

i thought it was the timing gear that sandwiches the triangle bearing sorting the end float. My small bore turbo project http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=473901 |

As suggested above, the backplate has nothing to do with the cam end float. The cam sprocket clamps down on the end of the camshaft leaving enough space for the triangle plate plus the clearance.
