Sensor Pins for camshaft triggered ignition

[Ben Swann]

Thanks - Right idea, but too big.  I need pins that are only about 2cm long if
that and about 5mm dia. 

 

Also, $85 would be a bit much for 5 pins.

hey ben - i'm not sure if these would work but the b5 a4 front brake caliper
uses a high grade steel [i think it's stainless] pin for the slider mechanism.
one end is threaded, the other hex [allen] and threads into the.. carrier
iirc? cant' visualize w/out looking at it. anyway it's a threaded pin about 2"
long. 

might work for that app? scroll down to the 'brake stiffening kit' here for an
idea:

>>>I'm trying to locate a source for pins that can be use for magnetic pickup
triggered ignition(or other).

These would be steel pins that can be threaded or bolted onto a cam sprocket
or crank pulley.
