Hi Paul,
I made a copy of the wheel from 1'8" Plexiglas using my Dremel router.
Will mail it to you after the Holydays.  There is a timing mark and I wrote
on the plexi, so you know on which side it goes. The ring is asymmetric and
can not be flipped. Check on your engine pulleys and make sure you can
mount
it. I don't think you have a flat mounting surface.
Turns out that the Cosmo and 20B have bigger mail pulley just about the
size
of the ring. I fill space the ring  away from the pulley.
I have a question. How do you determine the mounting location of the
sensor?

Bulent

What is the diameter so I can scale it properly. I don't want to crawl
under my RX8 :)

This is 1:1 copy. I Match drilled the mounting holes first. Riveted the
plexy to the original and carved each tooth on the mini router table using
the original as a guide to the 1/8" cutting bit.
My main pulley is the same diameter as the ring. The regular pulleys are
touch smaller.
Bulent

Yes but printers scale things. Unless I know the diameter then I can scale it
to the right size.

Paul, I did not use printer. I used the original RX-8 wheel as a template.
So you can measure the diameter from the one I'm sending you.

Tracy does not appear to be responding to email. You might want to
call him and ask him which wheel he would prefer. Paul Yaw's simple
wheel or the Mazda RX8 wheel. The RX8 puts out strange signals 180
degrees apart. I suspect the computer can then identify which
rotor is the front rotor and which is the rear.
