On my MK I secured magnets to the prop shaft at the front end with glue, cable ties and then covered them with gaffer tape. Made up a bracket with a
hall effect sensor (ABS Sensor from a scrap Astra) attached. Fed the signal through a Speedo Healer to the Fireblade clocks I used and it worked
perfectly for SVA and has worked fine ever since. However, that said you will get all sorts of set up's suggested now but mine was very cheap
and reliable. Barry

Sorry for the late reply Dave, you need really powerful neodymium bar magnets, I used six magnets approx 35mm x 20mm equally spaced. Sites like
magnets4us sale these. The sensor should be set at about about 5mm from the magnets. If you need more help let me known.
