Andy Borris Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Update on the Edis timing wheels.Tim Ward (bestquality03 ) on the Triumph Torque forum has kindly offered to produce these timing wheels for us at a much reduced price!i.e. Free!Well not quite, we're going to take a £5.00 donation to Cancer Research UK for each wheel. The wheels are now punched rather then laser cut, but this won't affect the working of them.When the wheels are ready, I'll ask everyone on the list to send me a cheque made payable to Cancer Research UK Birchington (my local shop) and a suitable pre paid self addressed envelope or packet for the return of your wheel.I'll let you know weight and size for posting. I'll also post a suggested fitting guide. I hope you'll understand why I'm doing it this way, I'm in middle of installing a EDIS and Megasquirt on my car, work and family keeps getting in the way and I don't want to waste more time downloading addresses, making labels and shopping for packets! I'm sorry, but without either of the above, you won't get a wheel. No other form of payment will be accepted. Please don't send money directly to me, I'll spend it down the pub and you still won't get a wheel!Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Something I forgot to mention before, there are two sizes of pulley. The one on my Mk1 engine was smaller than the one on my Mk2.Another point of note, what grade of steel are these being made out of? I don't know what the original Ford items are made out of, but they do have issues at high RPM. The teeth start to unbend I believe.If there is one going spare, I would like to put my name down. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers!Hi JamesSizes of wheel are from Andy Borris.Steel grade is s275 pre-galvanised Z2 cold rolled flat sheet. The tensional strength of the material is 200nmm per m2. All i can say is lets try one and see how it goes. I can make them from Z39 high tensile galv (390nmm per m2) if the Z2 isn't strong enough.

The one on my Mk1 engine was smaller than the one on my Mk2.I took the measurements from a MK2 pulley.It's the centre bore of the balance weight which is the important diamension.If the part of the pulley which the balance weight fits over is smaller, then they won't fit! The wheel is meant to fit between the pulley and the balance weight.Will a MK2 pulley fit a MK1 crank? Or you can fit it in much the same way as any trigger wheel, making sure that it's central to the crank.I'll try to get hold of a MK1 pulley and check.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I think a Mk2 pulley will fit a Mk1.As for the teeth bending, I don't imagine it will cause an issue, but something to be aware of :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Borris Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Should also point out that these wheels are designed to have the teeth bent at right angles over the balance weight, this means that you have a larger area to take the signal from, allowing you a wider choice in sensor fitting.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 jcarruthers wrote:Andy- are we expected to self bend?Yes JamesA pair of mole grips is all thats needed. It's only 2mm thick. Are you a MAN OR A MOUSE!! :P :). It's very easy to bend. I would do it on my press but then i would have to charge for it and i don't think anyone would be prepared for the cost!!!!In order to remove a tooth just bend it backwards and forwards several times and it will snap off. This can be done once the wheel is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
