Where's the reluctor wheel on that Phazer kit?
I would think you reuse it. In front of the gear.
Ive been looking hard with no luck so far. If other companies are still offering them someone must still be making them right?

Its machined onto the lower timing gear according to DGS's website.
Did you call DSG Canada?
No as they retail them for over $500, there also a competitor. Even if they came down to $300 you guys are looking to buy at $350. Not worth the time for me. I need to find the manufactuer, My gut tells me its not DSG.
Mike said his had PJ on his (very interesting).
Mine came from Kennedy and it was in DSG packaging...
I like mine and it isn't very noisy....

Might be old news to some, but PJ is out of business.

when did Pete Jackson go out of business? that kinda sucks. 
I am too young/ never read up on him much to remember, but he was a huge name in gear drives for decades, correct?

Alain, Just reread my answer and its a wrong answer. I must have had the Fluid Damper reluctor ring on my mind?
Anyone have a timing gear drive set they can send me for a possible production run? It will not be used in any way except to take messurements from and get a machinist eye on it. I'd like to see one in my hands and not have to reinvent the wheel. In other words reverse engineer the thing. I'll pay postage both ways. If it works out I might have these made again.

You can still purchase them. They are over $400. I found a site off the links from the diesel power mag website.

Try this gear drive 6.2/6.5 set
That is a lot of cash for some chunks of metal.
KD still carries them on his website.

Also remember, the Ford IDI uses a gear set.
Thanks answers a question I had about the reluctor ring being seperate. Is that a different metal surface on it? wonder why?
Saw that one, over $550ish there.
I'll check it out.
I did see that.

If your looking at getting them made, how about getting them done like the Fords?
