Default Cosworth YB cambelt tensioner locking plate

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Coswo...160&rmvSB=true


Has anyone tried these, they work as intended? So if the stud in the head works itself loose, this should prevent catastrophic engine failure?

A member on here posted up pics of one he made himself, no picture is showing on the eBay add but the part itself seems a good idea.

Think his name was albertodelgado but not 100% sure, his stud came out of his head and caused a lot of trouble

He also noticed that the locking plate needs to be custom made as the tensioner screw always sits slightly different depending on head height, cambelt tension etc.
