(sorry if its over your head)

Another issue is that ther ABS system pulses will be very fast even at a moderate road speed and there may be issues with the dash accepting such a high speed signal but I am no expert on the dash mentioned.
If this is the case, the signal may need digital dividing to reduce this rate.

I would contact your dash makers as they may have an off the shelf solution.
Right on the edge of my knowledge there mate

Well, i've got a couple of other options - there are loads of 'normal' toothed inductor rings on ebay for a tenner, if i can get one to go onto my driveshaft i can mount an inductive sensor to read it and wire that to the dash. Alternatively i can mount a magnetic 'trigger' in place of one of the bell to rotor bolts on my AP brakes and mount an inductive sensor to read that.

I know the dash will read an ABS sensor as there are quite a few people doing it (sadly they don't clarify whether they are still using a 'live' ABS system). It would be a million times easier for me to just splice a signal into the dash though...
