I'm in for a kit if one emerges
PRefer complete so I don't have to think about anything
Shall watch with anticipation

Reubs hope you didnt mind, I was having no luck with the files myself so sent
some files to Matt to see if he could make them work and use as a base as he
did mention in the past he would like to develop his version for the community.

There are still things to work on though, the front Mazda pulley adapter and the
extra part which seemed to be a fatter cam bearing??? now re-considering we never
asked for what it way for! Ive tried to get in touch with Rob but no luck from here
so the information is getting lost for this setup over time. I really thought all
was covered in the past threads but somehow it wasnt.

Here is the original suggestion I made to Rob before he made the v1 kit for us.
He wasnt aware the Mazda rwd heads had a provision for water at the front




rwd b6 head miata etc (also has thermostat housing so very convenient)

The original datsun A waterpump is almost impossible to use its too big overall as
is the pulley diamter it uses, we discussed this at length and the only solution
was some kind of smaller external mech or the usual electric waterpump however
I also thought a smaller pump could work if you angle grind a passage from the
front primary water passsage "square" shape one in the middle mid section as in pic
at the bottom of this post and across to the cavity where the usual waterpump would
sit as it only needs to copy what is already on the A series pump but onto the block.
Plenty of meat there too on the block for this modification.

A cheap smaller pump like this one could sit in the same cavity area for original A series pump
and will use the passage created in the block area as described above

Matt if you ever do put together a full kit let me know. I like the set up but I don't want to have to the R&D.

Reuby I think I have a CAD model that belonged to you, but I am going to make sure it fits my A12 Block face.

I don't plan to do whole kits for these (2) currently. Just the front timing adapter, and possible other things as I go. Once I have everything drawn up and programmed I can put package sets together.

I want to make the water pump viable on this setup though, so some possible mods may happen. Anyways just the front timing adapter is $250.00 USD before shipping.

What are you using as template to make these up?

Do you have an original that you have copied or the original drawings from the original creator or is this your own design?

Are you going to make up kits with the necessary seals, cam & crank adapters, and pulleys?

I am still working through this project - hoping to put the motor together over the next few months.
I have collected everything (im pretty sure) and modified everything as required, so it should now be a bolt together operation.

The original creator put together kits for about $900 from memory, and people balked at that - dont know why - thats more than fair for what he was offering - but people are people.

Is there anyone still interested in the DOHC front timing plate from this thread?

I am making (2) here in a few weeks and wanted to poke around here and see if this was still an in-demand item.
