Trigger Wheel & PIckup Install A-Series

[Phaeton]

Bought a toothed pulley & mounting bracket off ebay for the A-Series engine. Got round to fitting it today but concerned the pickup is too far away from the teeth, in hindsight I should have measured the gap, but for reference the nut is a 10mm





Any thoughts anyone?

Clearance needs to be around 1 mm, otherwise looks like a solid mount.

I would say that's miles too far away.

I set mine with a feeler gauge at 1/64 of an inch approx 0.5mm

Can it be mounted the otherside of the bracket ?

[Ken555]

How close mine is

Thanks guys I thought that was the case, but the kit came with no instructions. There is a spacer plate but without it the pickup is too close. Maybe it isn't a spacer but an extra support & it goes the other side of the bracket & a washer will give the correct clearance. I'll try to have another go tomorrow night.

I would say its a clamp to spread the pressure of the bolt.

So it goes like the poor Paint picture attached

Or if thats too far forward try this way

Knew I had seen that type of setup before somewhere.

So the 2nd diagram is correct. Here's a photo of the assembly

So its sensor/bracket/plate
The sensor can be spaced backwards with a washer if needed.

Thanks Ken

Spoke to the guy who produces these & you're exactly right, the bottom picture is how he described it, you use the washers to get the gap correct.

The guy who makes them is SteveD on here and the mini forum. A very helpful guy and a mate of mine has one of these aswell. Vey nicely made.
