Evening,
Just getting the Acewell dash set up on my f27 with a 2.0 Zetec fitted.
The dash came with a speedo sensor, it looks like a thread with 2 nuts and a small magnet.
What's the best way to fit this? Is this the right sensor for car application?
Also, I've set the tacho up and it is reading a signal. What setting should it be on?
Thanks
Liam

The magnet needs to be fixed/glued onto something that turns when the car is moving.
Mine is a Koso so does not use a magnet,I've made a bracket up so it reads the 6 bolts that hold the driveshaft to the diff.
Does it not state in the instructions what setting to use for different types of ignition for the tacho?

Ok, I think I'll make a bracket up for it then.
No specific setup instructions...

Description

That's how I mounted mine on rear.

I think the main issue with the magnet types is keeping them stuck onto the propshaft/driveshaft etc

For my Acewell I removed some paint from the inner driveshaft CV housing casing and stuck the magnet on with Araldite. Then made a bracket to mount the sender from one one of the unused diff bolts. Has worked fine for around 20k miles.
