7517 forum posts 20 photos | The last reluctor ring I bought was for a peugeot 607 and cost about three quid. Press fit. Peugeot don’t sell them - they were going to supply a new driveshaft for about £450 (and likely didn’t include VAT🙁 ). |

147 forum posts 30 photos | FYI - the ring is threaded with a 47 mm x 1 mm thread - Inner hub is left handed thread the outer is right handed = to hold it into the bearing housing - the outer edge holes are there for weight saving and also a special tool is used in the holes to tighten the ring into the housing - hence the need for he holes - if i use every other hole there is still a hole to use the special tool in to tighten the ring. I could post a pic but were getting away from my original post- I just need a good supplier of odd sized hardware in the UK - the concept has been planned and all variables considered - its just the bolts with the desired pitch which is proving the sticking point. |
