Paul,
I priced the timing plate (plus pulley) $172 Aust and $92 for the pick

up. I

don't know if the two are one unit (pulley and plate) or they just

sold

together.
It is suggested the RX8 parts are cheaper than earlier models.

OK back to making our own. $172 Aus is still too steep for the trigger

wheel.

I think we can get these computer laser or plasma cut at way less than

that. The

pickup price is ridicules as well. Digikey has them for $60. Hall effect

gear

teeth for $30. The hall sensor should be checked as the sensor plate

changes distance.

Here are some more pictures on the subject.

Paul I have ordered a second-hand one, if you want to wait until I get it
and draw it up, I will pass a Gif on to you.

Too late George. Through the magic of Rhino automation 	I loaded the
illustration from the RX8 manual into Rhino as a bit map and made the drawing
as an overlay. Bulent sent me a plastic pattern from which I obtained
the dimensions. I found it just where I thought it was. On my desk 
under a foot high pile of papers.
