There will be another revision to the front cover

I decided to model the Peugeot crank sensor this morning, and after doing so and dropping it in the 3D model, it looks like my sensor centres can be moved outwards a little. The Peugeot sensors are slightly narrower than the BMW E46 Hall effect ones, and as this timing trigger is designed to go in the Celeron camshaft gear (worst case) the smaller internal width pushed it over.
Although they aren’t designed to have an O ring seal, I can modify the cover to allow for this and at the same create a drip free joint. The OEM fitment uses the ribs in the sides to push fit into the crankcase hole, and the screw just stops it jumping out.
A few tweaks to the 3D model and it will be finished…again!, but as I am testing the trigger wheel designs in the next few days, it might change again, if I don’t get good signal traces. :)
