I never knew such a thing existed until now, but I can see how it would be a good idea on a track/race car.

That looks like a useful bit of kit. I refitted my arch liners recently as I was paranoid something was going to go into the belts, but on refitting it was still a bit unprotected. I’ll look at getting this!

Any idea how this is supposed to be fitted? Does the crank pulley need to be removed for this to fit behind it?

Must use the same as this one, would have minimised my aux belt catastrophic fail

I haven’t fitted one yet but I’m going to when I finally get my engine back together. Probably wouldn’t have this issue if I’d had this fitted!

I’ve currently got my engine in bits and noticed a bit of damage on the crank pulley and casting so it got me looking I got lucky so will probably be buying this

I had the genuine RS one from a MK3 cup racer fitted on mine, with some slight modification.

No one was making them for MK2 at the time.

Definitely worth doing I'd say, you never know if it'll save the engine one day.

I have one in the garage ready to go on an engine

Whenever the f**k that may be 😂

@M.C.. just get it bought 🤣🤣

SharpyClio · Feb 16, 2025

I’m buying one of these shortly, so happy to report back when I fit it in 18months time… 😬

How easy are these to fit? Any downsides?

Mine is going to Birchdown next week, might see if they can fit it for me if it's just a simple bolt on job.

Got a PMS lower cambelt cover nearly 2 years ago. Also got the lower cambelt sprocket with the intigrated key to go with it.
Both still waiting to be installed

Felt its definetly worth the extra security. Especially since the F4R is a needle in a haystack in Aus.

*From memory the APMotorsport unit needs to be motified to fit the Clio2 block.
The PMS plate that suits the Clio2 is the smaller one out the sample images shown on their website.

Easy to fit if they are doing belts, I think to fit it afterwards you would need to redo the aux belt entirely

Thinking of getting one of these for mine. Looks like I need to renew the crank pulley anyway at some point as the rubber is perishing. Would it be worthwhile getting the keyed crank pulley or is it a waste of time on a standard engine?

I have it installed, worth it for the peace of mind.

Yeah the APM one is the genuine Renault Sport item, the same one i had.

It's made from stainless.

Belts have just been done, that's a shame. Might do the aux belt myself this summer then.

Need to pin the crank and set timing again on oem 172 non keyed pulley. Leave it until next cambelt job.
