Speed sender
After a speed sender for my digital dash project. Are any Fords fitted with them as standard? Failing that, anyone used an after market speedo with
a separate sender? I would rather avoid the whole 'magnets on the prop shaft' trick

I know you said Ford ya ginger gimp but I just mentioned it as another avenue you could look into potentially.

You can't talk about hair 
Having taken the wee you may actually have a point. Anyone know how Vaux speed sensors connect to the running gear?

I think they use sellotape, or do they read a toothed trigger disk mounted on the crank. I think it's the latter.
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Pete...sensor on the crank is fine for RPM....but wasn't Chris looking for Speedo input?
Hmm...sellotape is correct.....

Fine if he keeps it in first gear
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Ford MT75 gearbox has a speed sensor fitted, not sure if all models but anything fitted with injection or ABS is a good bet. Good output signal as
well.

Cheers Syd. Ideally I'd like to have it connect straight up but I guess the cable option is there if I can't!

The speed sender on the MT75 is built into the gearbox casting, you would need to use the whole gearbox, same mountings as the type9 and stronger.

I can back that up. my V6 cologne with type nine from a E granada does indeed have a speed sensor and not a cable.

Anyone want to part with their type 9 speed sender? Thats assuming it would fit on a 'cable' type box.

Probably, but thought I'd try you lot first. Surely you're all fitting 'normal' instruments (with cables!)
Can anyone confirm if it will fit a 'cable' type 9 box?
