Finally sorted another small lathe as I can't stand not having one as there so handy,

Had the prob of clearance with the wrc cam sensor set up so as advised by coley and whizzisat and a few others I sourced a galaxy sensor which is a more compact 90 degree angle

So rather than sell the wrc sensor bracket I sleeved it to suit the smaller dia galaxy sensor

So to start with

Drill the center hole out a bit, had to finish by boring as I did not have the correct size drill bit,

I made the sleeve a real tight fit on purpose and planned to heat the original housing and push in the sleeve, so I left the heat gun on it for 20 minutes and when I went back to it the anodising had come off and it had turned gold!

No idea why as I heated the uprights to 100 degrees and the anodising was fine and by the same firm so I can only assume it was a different alloy but never mind, I will have it done again when I get some more bits done

Anyway, job done

Cam cover can be fitted and removed now but the actual sensor needs to be fitted after cam cover but the sensor housing can stay in so that's perfect,

The one thing you will notice is the securing hole which is for an 8mm bolt overlaps the original threaded hole to suit the bigger sensor so il show you what I done to get round that later in the week




Also got another heel plate as I wanted a bit more under my feet
On the drivers plate

Not bolted in yet but makes the difference I was after
