Default 60-2 Trigger Wheel Users

Is anyone using the VAUXHALL 60-2 trigger wheel for CPS on a cossie engine on here ?
Just seeing it it is the right size or is too large to use easily ?
Thanks

isnt the vauxhall 60-2 wheel usually inside the engine on the crank?, i have always used 36-1 for most aftermarket stuff as it seems more compact

Thanks, I just offered up the vaux one today and it is way too big, more like a dinner plate, so a no go.
I have already been onto trigger wheels, yesterday, just don't trust the post round here, so prefer to get local whereever possible but am getting one from there, then friend is doing machining for me, got to get all me other toys to add yet, making me own loom, so I can re route it where I want.
Emerald only had 60-2 in so got one not knowing if any good for fitment or not, so have to change as won't fit, got to rebuild bottom end anyway first as done over 120,000 abused miles.
Seeing about tigging the plenum cover to run 4 yellows in there as well as manifold, but cast does not tig well , could blob all over the place in a molten pool when I strike up!!
Thanks for comments/help, most appreciated.

Easy enough to fit to standard pulley

Made this one for a friends Dax, mounted it on the front of pulley as he wasn't using power steering so machined that belt vee off.





Or just buy a small turbo escos pulley like i just have for my Emerald
