interesting.....do say more about your modifications!

To make one work with a Link all you need to do is replace the chopper plate with one out of a VG30E or RB20/30E.

I cut the part the rotor attaches to down and blocked up the hole in the plate covering the chopper plate so I could run mine without a cap.

If you want an optical dizzy you are going to need the shaft to suit as well.

is the shaft different to a normal shaft?

Yeap, it's splined on the top for a more postive drive.



This is an optical dizzy.




There is also this odd ball one that also takes a screw on cap but still has a hall effect sensor in it from memory, can't remember where I got it from.

hmm....interesting.
those pics are good thanks!
So I'll need a dizzy and a shaft......hopefully the shaft fits into a L4 lol.....if not, could always get that end drive chopped of and somehow fitted to a L4 shaft.

Do you have a shaft out of an engine?

Yeah I've got the one that came out of my motor around somewhere, if the normal L4 & L6 shafts interchange it'll fit.

I've heard FJ20 dizzy internals are very similar, you could probably replace the chopper plate with one of those and it might work?

yeah, Ive seen something about that too.....I'm thinking a CA18 plate should fit....looks about right.

FJ20 dizzys would be too hard to find lol

where do you live and what are you up to today? lol

Hah I live in Waltham but I have to go out to my work in Sockburn later on today if that's any closer, send me a text if you want to have a look. 021 161 8827.

Here's a pic of the 1 I have modified, I have yet to machine up a cap for it.
