Can you do 7MGTE ones?
They're not too different from 4ag ones apparantly.

fark i'm an idiot..sorry bout my stupid question.
cool they're FULLY adjustable! i thought they'd be normal vernier ones. by "change-over" do you mean you want a pair of std sprockets plus $280? So how much w/out a pair to swap with?
cheers

Slight gains can be made when using stock cams. Mainly used when setting up cam timing on aftermarket cams.

Andrew, I'm not an expert on cams but depending on how you set up your cam timing I think you would expect to see a slight drop in low down power and a gain in mid to high range power. Depending on where you get your cams from I suppose the whole setup wil cost you around $1000 to $1500. Don't quote me on any of this information, best to talk to someone in the know.

Hey Damo, this mate of mine is still keen for a set of these, especially with the new price. I'll give him your number & get him to give you a call tomorrow to arrange things.

All pulleys are sold or spoken for. If enough of you need a set I can get another batch made.

COD costs are around $16 and normal postage is about $5. Depending on interested parties I can get another batch made but I'm unsure of the price they will be. The guy that machined the first batch owed me so I'm not sure if he'll do me the same deal. You'll pay $400+ for similar pulleys elsewhere.

DAMO:
quick question... is there anything, other than the bolts, that centres the alloy piece on the pulley? just been looking at the pics again, and it seems that the outside dia of the alloy piece sits well within the ID of the pulley (ie doesnt use the edge to centre itself) is there a shoulder on the back of the alloy piece which seats against the machined spokes of the pulley or something??
i hope its not just the bolts that defines the centring of the alloy piece within the pulley, am hoping theres some metal to metal shouldering going on somewhere
anyway, have two 7m pullies boxed up and ready to roll on tues for you
cheers

Joyride, the original cam timing is OK in this application, so it's probably not worth spending the money but I'm not an expert in cam timing.

damo, i ried posting this earlier, but it seems to have failed to upload...
anyway, in short, im an idiot.
when you sent me those dimensions, i have to admit to only eyeballing the 7m pullies - and they seemed close enough to the spec you sent me not to care to look harder...
then i looked at another spare set again on wed night, and pulled out the verniers....
the overall ID is bigger (which i figured) but i thought the rest would be fine.... wrong wrong wrong. the offset is all different by about 5mm which screws everything up. so 7m pully is a NO GO zone.
however, if you ever decide to do another run, and can managed to do some 7m pullies, im VERY interested, as im sure other 7m owners would be.
sorry for the screw around - particularly since its only cause i was to lazy to measure!
cheers
