External crank trigger and sensor can be obtained but has to be scratch built!

my dizzy was out of whack on my passat and i got spark on the engine block with the plug out ouf the block, but the timing was so off that the fuel delivery was not getting to the plugs when needed. the best indication of this is the car tries to start but when you release the key in the ignition it will hiccup but not start.. i wasted money on a crank sensor when all that was needed was the timing mark on the timing belt and the dizzy being in sync....my mechanically inclined friend said he couldn't guess how it had gone out of whack but there you go....after it was found that the tensioner had allowed the belt to slip....and that's all it took for it to not want to start .....:)....headache for a longtime it was before the cause found

this is exactly what has happened to mine.

I need a 60-2 trigger wheel the set ups readily available are 36-1
So I need to get the dimensions of the wheel from my existing engine and pass that onto the guy who is going the machine it for me.

that's going to be Monday at the earliest.

Took the crank out of my old abf engine and measured the trigger wheel.
Not sure how that can come off as its internal diameter is smaller than the end boss on the crank!

getting a one-off crank trigger wheel and sensor set up made by some very nice guys called BAM Racing, based in London UK.

(no connection with a US company)

Great thanks and gratitude goes to Bellend for finding the workaround for me!
