have blue tint, why my rear lens's are darker!

And what I used on the outside of the front fogs, although that has worn off now!

Part of me wants to take the crank out and sort the trigger wheel!!!!!

Thinking about how I can take the crank out from underneath, so I don't have to take the engine out again!
Really depends if I can get the gearbox away from the engine enough, but then they change a clutch without taking the engine out so it should be possible.

Flywheel has to come off (could take some pics of it then!)

[Len]

Just scotched that idea!

External trigger wheel is the sensible solution!
Engine out is a very last resort!

I feel your pain mate, I've nearly completed a 2l G60 build, but got stuck at the last hurdle due to using a long throw crank Got too much money sunk into to give up, but no enthusiasm to try and sort it.

If you do drop the gearbox you could use one of the polo set ups that replaces the standard crank seal set up, would mean you don't need to drop the crank or anything. Where are you currently planning to fit the external trigger wheel?

[Len]

Yea I have seen that Polo trigger set up but not sure how it clears the flywheel and comes out of the gearbox bell housing?

The one I am going for is on the pulley wheels cambelt side with the sensor mounted off the metal plate below.

[Len]

Will be similar to this set up.....

Use the Polo one - it replaces the oil seal on the clutch-end and just fits up - simples.

Only thing is it may not put the missing tooth at the same place as the ABF trigger, which would mean it wouldn't work.

[Len]

I think the Polo one is a 36-1 toothed wheel whereas I need a 60-2 tooth wheel.
So it wont work!

That's been the problem!
And its all down to me being awkward! Wanting to use the car (run in the new engine) before it gets the rest of the gear fitted.
