Cheers dude, its getting there slowly..

Yep thats exactly it. I've ordered the bearings and gears and drawn up a design. But it involves alot of effort and adds weight and i'm starting to feel that i can't be bother to make it now.... as looking more carefully at the motor again, it might be easier to butcher it to fetch the timing back after all.... even if it means remaking the back of the motor.

shouldn't be too long till their ready to install....hopefully
