Good luck, this tool has been like the holy grail, for any price under 500.00. Let me know how you make out, I too am from Ontario. I was willing to buy one last year from eBay, but the shipping cost was over 200.00 because of some eBay guarantee shipping bull shi$. I passed.

Keep looking on eBay, you may be lucky and get one for 2-300 bucks, some folks here got it with this price.

You don't "really" need the VM cam holding tool what is really needed is a cam holding tool to take the stress off the cam pins while loosening/tightening the cam nut(s). Any of a variety of alternatives are available and weeks101 rents a tool set.

Just take a couple pieces of angle iron the same length as your torque wrench and content at one end with a built as a home, and at the other put a grade eight bolt that fits into the holes in the pulley. It's pretty simple to hold the tool and torque wrench at the same time and keep the tool stable so you don't lose your timing.

Whoa, holy over engineering Batman! High tensile bolts are not required to counter 80lb.ft. Just saying, whatever Lowes or Home Depot have in stock in the 3/8" - 1/2" range should be fine.
