Best place to attach magnet for Acewell dash
mr henderson - 6/3/09 at 06:31 PM

The Acewell dash I have has a magnet with an M6 threaded end, and a reed switch which detects the magnet as it passes.

Has anyone fitted this type? I suppose the ideal would be to drill and tap a hole and screw it in with some studlock. Not really the thing with a balanced propshaft though.

Any suggestions?

TIA

i araldited the 4 magnets onto the diff flange,not heavy enough to cause balance probs and they are still there nearly a year later

Most people cut the thread off & fix with araldite or similar 2 pack adhesive, I have mine on a driveshaft - for SVA better to be on the prop as thier stupid rollers aren't locked together. (bit tricky as I don't have a prop!)

Mine is glued onto the prop [with thread cut off] just behind the front UJ with araldite. Use the type that needs 24 hours to set.

Works fine.
