digital dash clocks
Im making my escort into a track car and ive ditched the dash. has anyone got digital clocks? I seen some on ebay that say the speedo is controlled by a magnet! How does that work? Any info on these would be great

you put the magnet on to a wheel stud and a sensor counts revolutions
you wanna use a non driven wheel

just fitting a dig speedo to mine, but a dash2. Sensors should work ok, may need to add some resistors to get a true reading

mines on my drive shaft, its a hall sensor, just work out the rolling radius of your wheel then add that into your dash, presto.
