Ahh I remember seeing that thread. Its about time that ZC owners get their own cam gears instead of using make shift b-series ones. Nice post!

got any pics of how they cut the teeth in the cam gears or is it from a mould?

nar... cam gears are cnc machined out on the lathe.. like what u see on the first few pics.. just that they didnt show the process of how they make the teeth. They use smaller radius cutters for the gear teeth.
