Out of interest, how much is the sensor mount, trigger and all machine work?
Can't understand why people go to all the trouble to mount it like that as it never looks right when it can easily be done like the cvh's do when running cossie management, a disc behind the exhaust cam and a bracket off the rocker cover
Is there a reason why no ones done it that way?

By the way Gadget... The picture you have uploaded shows a "crank"sensor install.. correct??
As far as I am aware of it is not the same as the phase sensor relocation.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

SAME application, just a different sensor! ( Look at the pulley!! ) You can still use a crank sensor for a phase sensor,
To clear up any confusion...different pic with the zetec cam sensor on the same application.
Someone give me a cossie head, cam and rocker cover and i'll mock one up!

The sensor can be the same, but as shown the phase must be timed in right and must go on the cam as it rotates at 1/2 engine speed, if running fully sequential.
It always confuses me why they don't just use a cam lobe if drilling the covers on yb.

no ones done it that way because it looks crap on a cossy cam trigger in cover is much better looking

Gadget: I must say that it CAN look quit nice and OE like, when fitted to the cvh, but it would spoil the cosworth look if fitted to the cam pulley.

if you go to a brakers yard to get one its the rocker cover that gives it away as the silver top one has a silver rocker cover and the black top has a black rocker cover its thats simple . all mk1 mondeo,s were silver top motors and they were all so in the early mk2 the latter mk2,s were the new black top motor hope this helps you some

the reason its done in the cam cover on a yb is because its a WRC mod where they have got rid of using the dizzy! and as rally cars get covered head to toe in mud, i think they was worried about dirt egress when they considered the cvh/ecu mounting method lol

I was only asking as it costs £25 to get a disc lazer cut, a few quid for a bracket and if needed, £5 to get the back of the pulley skimmed 3mm to move it back once the 3mm disc is fitted! So a small outlay!
Whats the cost of the wrc trigger kit? does the cam need machining to accept the trigger or is it already threaded on the end?

jano's cossie is running the phase sensor off the inlet cam pulley with a phase disk and bracket, using a cosworth crank sensor.
Similar to the conversion for a CVH 8v or a Zetec 16v. Hidden behind a cam cover you cant see it and wouldnt notice it.

How could it look crap? Once the cambelt cover is put back on, you'd see the multiplug and thats it.

yes the cam do need machining to take the trigger it may be dearer but i prefer the look of them proper wrc kit looks mint ,but then im biased
it cost me £5 to get mine done which was for a new trigger the rest was donated by richie (b9kos)
