I am using a solid flywheel from a B23 that is lighten a little bit. Unfortunately there is no trigger on that. So we have taken that off a B230ET automatic "flywheel" below:

Before welding, used only fingers to center it :-)

The triggerholes now came about 12mm offset from original ones. So we needed to make a spacer for that. will be laser cut:

Well now we have completed the crank trigger. Here is how we made the camshaft trigger. Took a camshaft trigger and distributor from a B230ET so we get the HALL sensor:

Removed all but one trigger-teeth, the one left is now triggin' somewhere between cylinder 4 and 2s TDC (the firing order is 1-3-4-2):

Also cut the axle since we dont need it when not using the distributor:

Now there should be a nice cover over that :-)

Maybe something like this:
