I never noticed that Pedro's pulley doesn't have a hole in it. Show stopper for me, since being able to lock the engine at TDC is more than just kind of handy.

I was just reading the instructions for Pedro's/TuneRSMotorsports one, and it says to torque the bolt and do the final tightening to put the car in the highest gear and set the parking brake. So I guess that could work. Some Miata folks do that too. When we did our Miata WP/Timing belt we bought the crank pulley hold tool from Flying Miata. When I did my UDP (with the RSS) I used their tool and a block of wood from a 2x4 and wedged it against the top of the front engine compartment access.
