So it’s basically a solid block clamped to the seat tube, and a milled aluminium bobbin bolted to it?

Is this the Welshman himself who invented it ?
Ideally I want the dimensions to make a replica. We can see otherwise it is just a simple aluminium block with a pulley wheel on the end. That we can do
Yes luv u long time.

Ive seen a few pulley wheels for motorbike chains that look similar. That bit be easy I think. But I want to try do it justice and make it look as close as we can to the original, otherwise it’s just a bodged job by me.

Was tempted to modify a bmx stem or like an x-lite fly stem. Just need to drill a hole in the end to fit the pulley wheel into it.
From other pics I think the front side of it has like a 25 to 35 degree angle face to it from centre point out to drive side, but the back looks mostly flat.

Wonder if 100mm long will do it 
maybe I could work out the scale from other parts of the bike in the pics. 
Clamp 2 lengths of it together with 2 bolt holes either end, then drill a big hole down through the middle for the down tube.

The pic is of Justin Loretz riding for MBUK in 1993, so this an early one, he said he couldnt find it so I suspect this is the one that JMC used at Mammoth after Andy Kyffin spangled himself, interestingly the cranks are Tioga Revolvers he got from Tomac at Newham after his failed and he went to ask Tomac if he knew who to speak to about replacments....Is this the Welshman himself who invented it ?
