Default Speed output - Chrisitan

What have people used for the input when a speed input is needed - eg boost controller etc. Does the std gearbox one for fuel comp work?

Yes Rick, as far as I know it does. I took one from an early nineties Fiesta, but its a similar thing that screws into the top of the Gearbox before the Speedo Cable.

You can also buy an aftermarket version (AFAIK it works OK, although I have never tried it) from Demon Thieves for about Ł30.

Remember guys that a speed sensor that pick's up from an undriven hub (i.e. Rear hub) is going to be far better and not succeptible to Wheelspin.
