    Dizzy metal gears

    Had a browse today through the Audi mag and noticed that they have a company who are considering making some new metal distributor gears for 20v,they just want people to register there interest,i think its a good idea to register if anyone out there is interested as the nylon? one do go apparatly.

        There's also a metal gear available from Audi that fit's the 3B dizzy. It's originally for the sport quattro(?) kw engine if I remember right and it's about 80-90euros (the whole distributor costs about 300 euros here, an exchange part).
        Part number for that metal gear is 034 905 247.

            Any 3B owners need a metal replacement gear for the plastic distributor drive gear?

                The reason I wanted to change the gears was to eliminate the worlds most irritating rattle, well irritating resonance at tickover.
                I was in touch with a guy Derek Pulvino in the USA who I think was referred to in the Audi Driver article.
                The botom line was that his bronze gear was to allow removal for shimming, the plastic ones shatter. As I had already changed the distributor (and timing chain) to try to cure the rattle this would probably not help me.
                I have not tried to shim the dizzy yet but before I try a) has anyone done this and b)did it work?
