Racetech electronic Speedo on FRS MK1 gearbox
Hi
Looking to use this Speedo in my XR2 using a FRS MK1 gearbox.
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.burtonpower.com/racetech-speedometer-130mph-rtsc130.html&ved=2ahUKEwiO0ICpt8zfAhUrQxUIHbvmCLIQ FjABegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw0kGIAmBObQe_pwil4qppwN&cshi d=1546340550161
Anyone know if the original ford speedo sensor will work with this or do I need to buy a different one?

Yes it should,
The ford sensor is a hall afect sensor. The other type of sensor used on speedos is a Vr sensor.
The racetech instructions show it will accept either signal. I have run Etb gauges from the ford hall sensor in kitcars and it gives a very nice smooth and stable signal.

I've got racetech boost and oil pressure etc gauges already so the speedo and rev counter shouldn't look too out of place along side the others.
