well i suppose you could stick the magnet on the inside of the wheel/hub area and the sensor on the upright, but not sure if it would go fast engough
for a car but for the price they are i suppose its worth a shot
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Yep,I've got one kicking about and intended giving it a go,only problem being,I need the setting value for using 13" wheels with it.Thats
the one thing that could pose a problem !!

I doubt if a wire free will keep up with the acceleration on a car. They don't refresh fast enough on a push-bike to be worth taking any notice
of. They're alright for recording trip and top speed though. The setting value is just the circumference of the tyre, measure it with a piece of
string round it and enter the number in millimetres.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I don't think the wireless ones will work in a car, too much interference, I have had wired ones for years in my car and they work fine, magnet
on a rear drive shaft. Just not very good in the dark though

I know lads use them on supermoto's, work pretty well - but wireless aren't very good.
Worth a crack tho eh?!

believe the wired version has passed sva on a number of occasions - don't forget it needs to be lit on the sidelight circuit.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

We've used a wired setup in the racing Mini for quite a while.
The sender is mounted out of harms way(?) in the rear brake drum.

There is a guy I know who used a front light (indicator repeater mounted so it illuminates the screen when on lights - much like those old gameboy
lights) that passed SVA.
I'll find a picture if you're interested.
Sounds like you'll need a wired one (I believe a halfords wired one has passed SVA a number of times).
