He definitely seems capable of figuring it out.... A smart guy surrounds himself with folks that make him seem average....

Any ideas on leg protection above the knees?.

You might want to consider funny car type leg straps much like arm straps which will hold your legs from flopping around very much

I also have used a also a lap type belt over my thighs--crossed over my legs about 4"-5" from my knees.

Thanks Bob. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Sparky, there's not much room to have the knees floating
around as the opening is small but the arch will be well
padded and I'll be wearing knee protectors.

Thanks Sparky. I never thought of it that way. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

My neighbours are noisy. Not the kids as should be normal and rightly so (in my day I guess)
but the parents. Guy on my right went ballistic with fireworks from Christmas to the 2nd of Jan
and he's not even Christian.
Left hand side partied for five days non stop with the loudest music ever.

My turn, I'm going to fire up my new Riciprocating saw from CP in the next 30 minutes.
I hope they're all sporting hangovers?. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I can't find the appropriate crank trigger wheel for my application.
I can have one water jet cut but I'm obviously missing something here.
Knowledege on material etc. I need help and as always thanks in advance.

Some depends on the ECU and how flexible the programming is (rising or falling edge) and how many teeth it can be used with, usually program selectable. Mine, for instance uses two in a 4 cyl application. Have had another that used the 60-2 configuration. Also, what is your pickup? Some use a magnet to trigger (more common when using a distributor in a V8 deal) and an aluminum wheel (MSD type) but with a Hall sensor you have a larger tooth (mine specs about 5/16 square tooth (tooth count varies with engine and ECU) and similar height, all mild steel. Mine runs to 10200 without missing a beat but is a coil on plug deal, no distributor. Various diameter and tooth counts are available. What does yours want that you can't find?

Oh no.  I understood about every third word of that last post.  Carbs are great things.

Thanks Jack, I have a drawing I can give to the water jet guys.
I'm not running a distributor obviously.
We can change the dimensions to suit the application. I need
to bolt the wheel to my ATI damper. I'm hoping the 36-1 pattern
is the correct one.
I haven't sourced a pick up yet. My turbo guys have some
suggestions on that.

The 36-1 design is common but the 4.5"diameter is not so much. That is smaller than the dia of your ATI balancer so would need to be set out from it enough to avoid interference. A Hall sensor type sensor is generally used with this type though others may work. DIYautotune ( https://www.diyautotune.com/?s=crank+trigger ) for instance has these available. Drilling for the ATI mount bolts is easy. I have done this exactly with my two tooth ECU trigger wheel and then a 60-2 wheel outside it for another system I use, Just have to clear mechanically and electrically.  The small diameter you have drawn makes resolution a bit harder, especially at high rpms. You notice the DIYautotune small diameter wheels has pointed teeth. This may require a different sensor. Sounds like you have some guys advising and have it under control with your waterjet cut as well. I suspect that getting one from here and then modifying that with shipping and the issues you have mentioned with imports, that getting one made there might be best. But be sure about the diameter. Seems small to me.

Keep up the good work. Really like following your build.

Mike, WTF "you are HOPING the 36-1 is right"!! When you ask for help it would be pertinent to include the name of the system you are using  to get the right answer, or you could just google it.

Like I said, I have no knowledge. I was going to give the water jet guys the drawing with new dimensions (7,5" OD).
They can figure out how to scale up the part. I read somewhere that 36-1 was correct (I think).

Sid, WTF is 1000% because that's what I said when trying to figure this crank trigger wheel. Sorry I'm a dumba$$!!!!!!!.
I ask here on the forum because I get the right advice and help. When you need help on composites I'll do my best to
assist. You won't get no "WTF" from me. :-o
