The new magneto drive gear assembly for use on BSA singles has now been prototyped, successfully tested and is in the pipeline for production once pricing of all the components is completed...
The assembly allows for 'infinite' adjustment of the timing without fully removing the gear itself and completely eliminates the problem of unwanted movement when the locking nut is tightened during setting of the timing...
The original oil seal arrangement is retained and no modifications are required prior to fitting the unit...
I should have full prices in the next few weeks and will post all the details when they become available...Ian

Good to hear Ian. I presume any adjustments can't be made through the timing cover plug and will need removal of the timing cover?
I'll give you a list of other bike makes that you can knock up for me also

I think it will be possible to make timing alterations through the timing cover hole though I haven't tried it....
Previously I can't say I've been a fan of that method but I might change my mind on that with an easier method of tightening the gear....Ian

Yes, you'll still need Rizlas or similar, or an electronic gizmo...
The mod is all about setting the timing without anything moving when it is tightened..so you only do it once and the gear doesn't have to be removed, only loosened..
As yet I haven't managed to come up with something that sets it for you as well.. ...Ian

I'm in Ian, for one...
Orders pouring in for a magneto drive gear assembly no one has seen yet. It is like announcing a new Ferrari model: order book full and only the colour is known.

Yes, the problem is I need to protect the idea, development, time and the substantial financial investment I will be making in producing these in quantity...
To go through it in detail would be like saying I'm selling cakes but here's the recipe and a list of the ingredients you need to make it yourself...It wouldn't be the best way to sell cakes..
As far as pre orders go I like to think most people on here know it will do what I say it will do when they get it...Ian

Yes, it just goes to show that this is something that all the British makers should have fitted as standard back in the day! They would still be in business now if this and other sensible stuff had been followed through.
Sit back and relax chaps..There is an 8 week lead time on the production of the batch of gears, so it will be late July before everything is completed...
I've ordered 25 gears etc. initially and when completed 12 of those units are provisionally accounted for as of today...
These are the people who have responded on this post AFTER I posted the price and a few who have contacted me off forum already..
If you are not one of those people and want to go on the list for one of the remainder please also contact me off forum...Ian

It's always the dilemma of making old bike parts...Anyone can copy just about anything these days if they are determined...
It's entirely possible, or even likely that someone will copy this once they have one as a pattern...
There's nothing I can do about that really but if possible I would like to avoid being left with a lifetime supply and having my coffin stuffed with the rest...(there may not be enough room to fit them in with the unsold M20 rear stands I have left.. )..
In fact, I only need to make a few of this particular part to satisfy my own requirements and to supply a few close friends who want them...
However, it seems a shame not to offer a chance to others to solve an annoying problem as well...and I'll get a few bob for the time and effort I've put in..when I should have been working on my own bikes.... ...Ian

That leaves just one remaining (provisionally) from the first batch...Ian

Belay that..I've just had an e mail from John Edwards in the U.S who has taken the last one...
I'll post here again as soon as things are coming together...Ian

Ian,
Is there already something known about the 'rolling out' of this contraption 
My M20 is anxiously waiting for this last bit to arrive
Hi Hans...The various parts are being manufactured at the moment..
Production of the gears will take approx. 8 weeks so everything will probably be timed around that..
I'll post periodically as things progress...Ian

Hi Ian
Don't know if you got my E-Mail from 28 May but I am definitely interested in two of any new Batch you get made up.
I was away for a few days and missed the first lot after the price was announced.
Cheers

Hi Ian,
Any news about this...
Hi Hans..Two parts of the assembly are ready, including the new gears...The remainder are being made at the moment....
It's taking longer than expected as usual...

I'm like the kid waiting for Santa Claus....
My timing has been a bugger to date!

That's your problem Ian! You should be timing it in 'Degrees' not the 'Calendar'

Hi Ian
Any news on how these are progressing?
I seem to have acquired yet another bike which would benefit from one (or at least my tenuous grip on sanity would be helped by the acquisition thereof).
Cheers

I have to confess this hasn't progressed beyond a working prototype and the production of half the component parts including the drive gears...
I suppose as I have the best part of £1000 tied up in the project I should pull my finger out and get on with it...
Too many projects and not enough time is the problem I'm afraid.... ..Ian

Just to confirm that, if you do manage to extract the digit, I am still very interested in a couple.
