Is it me or this guy here would work?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
All of our cas disk are zinc plated currently. If you bought one from us before we started plating and are having issues we will exchange it for a plated one.
Meaning sync issues?
His looks rusted because the disc was in contact with the sensor.
Based on the oblong hole shape it looks like the unit was being pressed hard on the back of the cam.
Exactly. Meeki's issues weren't caused by rust. It's perfectly clear in the picture his home made adapter placed excessive thrust load on the CAS and train wrecked the disc into the sensor. A tiny bit of surface rust, although not ideal, won't cause the disk to rub against the sensor like that.

Ive noticed an issue with my hires trigger disc.
It only takes 45min to clean it out every 12k miles so I'm not upset
or looking for a refund. Just thought you might what to know.

Let me know if you make a disk out of stainless or plated with
something, so I can get one.
yoshifab.com said:We zinc plate them all now for cosmetic reasons. I can send you a plated one if you want to mail your unplated one back. Sorry you had an issue, first one I have heard having a problem like this.
meeki said:I live in portland OR it rains here 24/7 Its probably not a prob in a
dryer climate.
I like your stuff and your service so I'll just buy another disk from
ya a few weeks after my wife stops Christmas shopping and keep it
on hand for the next time It happens.
Yep! well kinda.
Had a thrust issue ( CAS pressed against cam ). Did not help but only 1/3 of the disk was rubbing. Found out that my disk was ever so slightly bent. I fig it was from me when putting it into the unit the hard way ( not loosing up the 3 screws that hold the sensor plate ). I got it flat again used a run out gauge while turning the unit by hand in a vice to check it.
Oh I got it flat by putting between 2 flat chunks of 1/2 in plate steel and clamping them down on the disk. Heat till just truing red and quenched it.
Also shimmed the CAS unit out from the volvo distro plate .8mm . Used clay and test fitted it on the backup head and i had about .2 mm of clay left so it should be good now with out any thrust issue.

I'm not slaming Josh (yoshifab.com) for this. Here was my email to him before any one replied to my post.

All is well. I still think rust caused the sensor to fail. Sure that it lightly scraping in the unit did not help. We will see what happens in another 15k miles.
Oh and I'm proud of my "home made adapter". I used micrometers, bench press, upright 3/4 hp mounted belt sander with a flat plate behind the belt, to get er done. I would not recommend trying to do it with a hand drill and a vise
I love tinkering. The 2 units I sold for 50 USD each shipped. DSM CAS sensor and All hardware included. So I Sold them pretty much at cost not even counting the labor to make them or the time to find and pull the units at the junk-yard. I also sold them as TEST UNITS. I fully explained that there is no guarantee that they will work long hull. So they went in knowing what was taking place internally. I posted the thrust issue for others that may have made there own head mounted unit based on my directions.
As it stand right now I Have pulled 12 head mounted distributors over the last year when I find them at the junkyard. If and when I get the unit perfected I'll start releasing them. AS of now I have another 12k miles to go before I'm ready to even consider it. I want to provide a part that lasts 55k miles with out inspection.

The bit of surface rust blocking the optics happened because it got scraped off by the thrust failure.
So i got the CAS in, and now i have no signal....i got power, ground, 5v on the other two when spinning....
check your wiring connectors.

A cas connector? Source?
Started writing the wiring guide tonight. Ran into writers block.
For the time being, You can follow the directions on DIYautotune's website on how to configure your MS hardware for the DSM CAS:
