I fancy one of theses for the turbo. Giving it a new timing belt too....

I know Kent cams do one, Cat cams do one there is a bloke on club polo knoecking them up and the guy on ebay seems to have stopped the polo ones for the minute.

Yoof, were you doing a fresh batch last year?

Which is best value out there? Any one have one kicking around?
Cheers.

I have one made by maxmax on CP. Seems like good quality and good for the money

[confusionhunter]

Yea, I think the issue there is that its exchange and I quite fancy keeping my solid one.

Liam has 3 of ours, all etched, dowelled and finished. I've been trying for about 2 years to get them... I've given up to be honest mate.

[confusionhunter]

Are you sure? I thought they were all lost in the post? and that was ages ago, weren't you going to put another batch together, or have you knocked that on the head?

Anyone have a particular opinion on the Cat cam locking pin idea or feedback on the kent cams one? I like that fact its marked to for degrees advanced....

[Yoof]

We had a batch of 10 done (2xAFH) and only 3 ever turned up, in a rusty packet at the back of a warehouse (Interparcel IIRC).

Liam still has the 3, but Charlie has moved machine shops since then, no idea if they still exist...

[confusionhunter]

Ah, I see.... how much can I get one for it I track them down!? 

Aside from that....you think the cat cams locking idea is a gimmick? Was thinking about one of them....

[Yoof]

I'd only ever trust OE keyways to be honest.

Catcams is a fair idea, but there used to be a problem with them supplying the key with the pulley.

[confusionhunter]

At least these use the OEM keyway.... its the Maxmax one, guess a solid one isnt going to offer an advantage over on of these....

Ive also emailed cat cams to find out what the deal is withe the woodruff key.....

MaxRPM (formerly GLaderSeite.de) has just posted this on it's faceachebook page:

I'd say it's clearly made from a standard pulley so I'd guess it has the standard fixed key.

Good spot Hayes! Will have to find out what we can get one for with our trade discount.

[confusionhunter]

Looks like a very nice bit of kit!

[Yoof]
