BMC injection timing gauge

[tonyreptiles]

Hi All, 

 

my BMC 1.5 has had a nut and bolt reconditioning job done. 

 

One of the outstanding jobs is the injection timing. I'm told that while this COULD be done using the marks on the engine, this would be less than ideal when the components used to make that mark have been changed. Therefore we need a timing gauge?

 

I've searched high and low for one of these timing gauges. A couple of people have offered to lend one but not come through. Another offered to sell me one 'brand new in box' which I strongly suspect was a scammer. (Plenty of red flags in the messages we exchanged.)

 

Does anyone know where we might borrow or purchase one of these? I'm sure there are several members of this forum who would vouch for me when I say we'd take great care and return it promptly.

 

I'd be so grateful if anyone can help.

 

Thanks in advance

First question - how can we make one?
Second question - can we borrow yours? ?
Third question - I did call Calcutt but they said they didn't lend them out. 

 

Thanks
