"Hi Chaps I am new to the forum and have a interesting understanding of this fault. Would people be interested in a gear driven conversion as I have a finished design and would happily let someone test it on their engine. I am strongly against the mods that have been suggested and put forward by the engine builders as they leave the belt open to the elements and on a m3w the slots are right at he front so not good. I have been involved with this engine until recently and I am happy to support where i can whether is be 3d models or additional information".

I have also been looking into a timing gear conversion which if satisfactory, would last the life of the car.
I have created some drawings in AutoCad and started cutting metal.
if you want to discus this further please send me a PM.

Regards
Keith
