Are you sure you are not getting the electronic reverse sensor confused with the mechanical speedo sender?

Most type 9s had the cable driven speedo . If you are using electric speedo you may be able to use the sensor. If not I'm sure someone would buy
it from you,

The type 9 had both electric and mechanical senders fitted. Mine had an electric one fitted, which i removed and blanked off the hole.
Why would you want to fit a mechanical speedo? Its easier to calibrate an electronic one...

The speedo sender is on the right hand side (drivers side) looking from the back of the box. The reverse switch is also on the right IIRC.
The reverse switch has 2 connectors on it, the speedo sender had a wire coming out of it.
The sender either mechanical or electric, is positioned at the rear of the box (in the tail housing) right at the bottom about halfway down the tail
housing.
The reverse switch is at the top of the box right at the back.
Dont have a pic i am afraid.

If its a cable speedo sender it will have basically what looks like a small hole into the box the cable is secured with a circlip into a recess. The
electrical senders have it blanked off and 2 wires sticking out instead.

It is the same hole, just the other end of it. Hall effect, three wires. I use it to drive a VDO speedo gauge in my car. Works a treat. I had been
looking for a replacement box for a few weeks when my local scrappy said he had just got three in. Went down and one had the hall effect sensor on it.
Nearly snapped his hand off. But I didn't take a pic of it!
