alright, the a6,y7,y8 and adjustable cam gears all have the same number of teeth, 38, and the same circumferance.
the a6 is 1/2 a tooth off from the y7/y8.

So this leads me to believe that for a mini me setup you could use the a6 gear.

Time the head with the y8 gear remove it and place the a6 gear on.

if im wrong about this people let me know. But it seems that this expensice adj cam gear wasn't needed.

Now I've heard that all 88-95 cam gears were the same.. I dont have a z6 gear on hand but if it is true then the z6 mini me wouldnt need an adj cam gear.
