Balance shaft spacer question

[Black94DSM]

I'm using the Mirage spacer on my crank so I don't need to use the old balance shaft sprocket.

The thing I need to know is do I still use the thin plate that is between the both sprockets?
I'm pretty sure I do, as it looks like its really there to help keeping both belts from walking off (in my case only the timing belt)

Pic I found on tuners.... the plate I'm talking about is in the middle.

Also CAPS is saying there is a different part number between the 90-92 and the 92-94 plates.

Whats the difference ?

Yes you need to use everything pictured.

The plate is the trigger plate and used for setting the crank in time (and for the CPS to read, if applicable). Notice the notch in the top center of the plate in the picture above?

It's different because of the 6 to 7 bolt change over at that time period.

The plate has the timing mark on it, so you do need to use it.

Man I can't believe I even thought I didn't need it. Wow!

Thanks for bringing me back to reality guys.

I don't need the bs gear on the top of the pic because I'm using the Mirage spacer part # MD128107.

1g 7 bolt bs sprocket and pate are different that 1g 6 bolt stuff. I just learned this the hard way.
