Triggerwheel attached to front pulley

So - despite my cars effort to piss me off there has been some progress. Triggerwheel has been attached to the front pulley.

First - clean pulley - find out how to position triggerwheel - done a while ago


Next - engage The Mad Welder to do his thing

Finally - put nut back on and tighten it well. Rad in.

Things are brightening up

One step forward - and 10 backwards :-(

The plan:

1. Put exhaust on
2. Put front pulley on
3. Put radiator on
4. drive and enjoy the 20+ celsius weather this weekend
   

Reality:

1. Put exhaust on
2. By accicdent drop a nut down into the exhaust - I fear the unlikely event that it will be drawn into engine by bacjpressure
3. Take exhaust of
4. Remove nut
5. Refit exhaust
6. Put frontpulley on
7. Try to tighten nut to 150 lb/ft, engine turn, hhmm now what
8. Put car in gear and slam the brakes
9. Find out that something is very wrong with the clutch
10. Diagnose shows that idiot me has NOT managed to get the clutch actuator pin into the slavecylinder
11. Cry for 10 minutes
12. Undo all bolts round bellhousing
13. pull gearbox back - realise that this does not offer enough room to get pin out
14. Exhaust and prop must come of
15. call it the night - i give up

Off course batteries on camera are flat. well just enough power to get lens ut - but not in again

Lets realise - I will not enjoy a drive next sunday - it will be well into may before I get all this sorted.

Pick-up sensor and triggerwheel for MegaJolt

Last night in the workshop had one purpose - find out how to attach the triggerwheel sensor. When sensor is placed I will know where on the pulley the triggerwheel has to be, as the sensor has to point 9 tooth before the missing tooth when engineis at TDC

First I knocked up a very rough template for at bracket (no points for aesthetics!) which can be seen here






The triggerwheel had been attached with clamps, so could easily be adjusted so the sensor would point at ninth tooth.

With this position, TDC would be appr. at third tooth



Now - mark it - and leave it for the mad welder to attach to pulley while I am taking a well earned vacation under the sun waaaaay down south :-)



The bracket will be fabricated when I get home again. Initial thought had been along the lines of some angled iron. I have deserted this thought when I saw the rough mock up. I might just make the bracket from heavy gauge iron without angles on it.

This gauge should just about do it.
