Hi

I have got the new style clocks of a 98 blade and my engine is a 97, i have a speedo sensor which mounts into the top of the gearbox, but because of my year of engine i have to mount it external.

If i were to drill my drive adaptor and insert two magnets, would this have the same effect as the sensor being in the gearbox, or do i need to get a toothed wheel e.g a cam wheel for the sensor to count??

Any help would be great if you can understand what im babblin on about!!

Cheers Mike

Yep, it will work 100%, but don't drill your prop adaptor, just araldite two magnets to the sides of it and mount your sensor accordingly on a little bracket.

Also, you WILL need a "Speedo Healer" or the like to fine tune/tweak,callibrate the speedo display.

Nice one, any ideas for were to get the magnets i've looked but had no joy!

Hi,

How does 6 x 1st class stamps sound in exchange for 2 magnets?

I've got a few spare you see as I had to buy 10.

Pat...

sounds great send me your address on u2u and i'll put them in the post today!

Cheers Mike

FWIW I drilled my magnets partially into the prop adapter just to hold them in place a bit better (in conjunction with Araldite) because Ive heard of them going AWOL before. You only need a very shallow hole about 6mm diameter to virtually make them a press flush fit, so it doesnt weaken the flange in any way.

I was thinking along those lines that way, you know at least it has got hold of it.
