So you are zeroing the gauge at TDC (dwell period) and then rotating the flywheel anticlockwise until the gauge reads 1.6mm, and the gauge is graduated in 0.01mm segments.
If so then I can only see the problem being the flywheel or the stator.

f****n hell.
I don't often admit defeat, but this has me well and truly stuck.
I can't even swap the flywheel.

It should be easy to see if its the flywheel marks out by looking at the position of them relative to the overlapping magnets (but being nearly 40mm out I'm surprised they'd manage to fit them in the same window),
Posting a pick of the flywheel showing marks relative to keyway and magnets may help.

does this help any?
The little tiny notch at the top of the flywheel is the arrow point and i think is at TDC (I'm out at the minute and posting from my iPhone).

well,that looks OK to me.
just turn your flywheel anti clockwise the desired number of degrees or mm and it looks as though it really is not far off.

Let me guess, going ATDC for the timing instead of BTDC?
