Hi Max,
with pretty much everything you buy on ebay you take a chance but overall you can save a lot of money over time with only the odd thing catching you out. In Casey at the moment there is a shitfight going on because they have brought in a permit system which you have to apply for, wait 2 weeks and pay $150 so you can work on YOUR own car in YOUR own driveway. You have to have a permit ( all costing $150) for a caravan or unregistered vehicles parked on YOUR property. The troops are not happy down Casey way

With the friction plate I guess I could cut a piece out of an old car tyre and glue/rivet that on. And another way may be going back to the idea you had about using the timing gear and belt, I guess I could cut strips from a car tyre and glue/rivet that to the ally wheel. At least with doing it this way the motor doesn't have to come off if it needs replacing, just glue/rivet another strip of tyre on. Got nothing to loose if it doesn't work
