Thanks for all the comments.

The distributor solution is out of the window because of cost - its nearly 10X the cost of a timing wheel because of postage to SA and taxes at this end. Also it's not as accurate as a direct crank driven wheel because of timing chain and drive sprocket play.

I will look at a wheel bolted to the damper and spacers for the belt drives alternative though because I am a little concerned at the very minor reduction of the damper weight might have unforeseen results. The balance aspect is easy to manage by drilling opposite the missing tooth.

Any other comments will be welcomed.
