They make electronic senders for speedos

Thanks Ian.
But there is actually already an inbuilt electronic sensor on the MT75 gearbox (I have a Sierra based roadster). What I was looking for is either an electronic speedo which is compatible with my car, or a 90° cable-drive adapter to use my EOM cable driven speedo, because the bend it is doing on my is too tight and damages it along the way.
Thanks anyway :)

Thank you for the reply.
The 90° adapter is a great idea. But the only one I found for my gearbox is from Burton at £127 :eek:
All the other ones I found are not for flanged cables...
Does anyone have another source for that?

You should be looking at a flange-thread adapter, like this:

It should not be able to get one made by someone with a lathe. I printed one on my 3d printer for the speedo hall sensor from a Mondeo (I made the plunge to VDO gauges with an electronic speedo. 5 gauges from ebay £50, the speedo £200). The standard thread for speedo drives is M18x1.5, just like oxygen sensors, etc. The disk might have a tab that would prevent it from spinning when you're trying to undo the thread.
