Not used that particular one myself but if I was building a motor at the moment I wouldn't hesitate to use it. There would be no chance of it
slipping and Quaife is a good manufacturer.
Looks a reasonable price too.

I have acquired a 2nd hand one for my 2.0l rebuild and it seems a pretty good design.
Centre wheel fits on the camshaft and sprocket outside that. Pin goes in where it fits and then the thick washer holds it in.
Guess it might be a bit heavier than a typical Kent design but has got to be easier to adjust (once you get the pin out) and there is no way it can
slip.
Pretty chuffed with mine. But it was locost
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

I used one 20 years ago, great bit of kit, never going to slip like those nip up allen screw jobbies, you just centre everything and pop the pin in
where it fits and bolt up tight.

I have one on my Pinto in MK, have changed the cam a couple of times and it works well for setting exact cam timing. Very solid, no worries about it
coming loose.

Far better then the adjustable pulleys now sold. It's design is where the term "Vernier" was derived from.
