The CAS references the crank, not the rotor.   Is that. It?
I'm still confused about something myself. Everybody keeps talking about adding another CAS as requiring it to be "in a different position", with an offset. My 3rd-gen CAS sits on a small bracket just behind the toothed wheel on the front shaft. Past that toothed wheel there's a healthy (from memory: 1.5"?) gap from there to the back of the alternator pulley.

What's to stop me from making a bracket and putting a second CAS in that gap, facing backward? It would be in exactly the same position as the current CAS, just facing backward. Would they interfere with one another? If so, as an alternative, what about using a second toothed wheel either on top of the first and before the alternator pulley, or if side loads were a concern, on the very end of the shaft past the pulley?
