Do any of you experts out there reckon I'm going to have problems:-

1) Finding a replacement (new or used)
2) Fitting a replacement bracket and knowing that the position is actually going to be correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

(A search for OM617 timing mark gives 3 hits that don't quite answer my problem)
