Andy Borris Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 That's great James, it's just that I'd like the money to go direct to the charity.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Borris Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 The trigger wheels are ready.Hurrah!A donation to Cancer Research of £5.00 pounds (you can always make a larger donation! ;)) for each wheel you have requested please.Please send a cheque made payable to Cancer Research UK, at the following address:Cancer Research UK74 Station RdBirchington-on-Sea,KentCT7 9RA At the same time send a postage paid self addressed envelope or packet toTim Ward (Trigger wheels)Managing DirectorFTP Systems LTDWilson-Barker HouseSevern RoadStourport on SevernWorcestershireDY13 9EZThe packet must be large enough to hold a 200mm diameter x 2mm thick wheel (multiplied by how many wheels you have ordered).Each wheel weighs about 400 grams. (at least, that's what the metal calculator on the web site said, I forgot to weigh it in my excitement to try it :-/!Don't forget to check the postage on your packet will cover the weight of multiple wheels.Tim will pop your wheel(s) into the packet you supply and then into the post, this way we don't mess about with addresses, stamps and queuing in the Post Office and you get your wheels faster!I'll add a suggested installation guide soon, hopefully it'll even make sense!Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Andy,My contribution on its way to Cancer Research and my packet to Tim Ward.May I congratulate you and him on this excellent and generous scheme?!Suggestion for Roger Hoogmans: buy a UK five pound note from your bank, as if you were coming here on holiday, and post it to Cancer Research in an ordinary envelope, folded into a page of writing/printing paper . It's impossible to tell a bank note from writing paper from outside the envelope unless you use X-rays, and in my experience this is a good, safe way of sending small amounts across the globe. MUCH cheaper than PayPal!JohnPS Yes, I know, great holiday on £5, but you know what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Can any one explain why you need all thees Teeth,!!!If I were running a 4 cyl, then I would only need 26 is 3, and 8 is 4 teethand it seem to work ok,any mega wotsit guru,s out there, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Because that's what the EDIS system uses. If it were a MegaSquirt then you could use whatever you wanted.I _think_ the 36 teeth also allows the ECU to detect slow down and speed up of the crank mid rotation.It doesn't really make any difference how many teeth you use if that's what the ECU wants :)Bosch use a 60-2 system :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Essentially it's more accurate than 3 or 2 teeth because the EDIS knows the crank angle all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
