Speedo

[katol]

I am thinking of using MGB instruments and speedo. I have a ford n-type gearbox in the car but am not sure how to make the speedo work with it.

Can anyone help??

They are a number of companies offering a recalibration service for speedos.
They usually advertise in the back of the kitcar / classic mags

I've always found Speedy Cables

To be very helpful and competitively priced.

top tip for today, if fitting an electric speedo, do not fit the sensor to the output shaft of a blade engine as it will
a: spit the magnet off on the A38
b: read no more than 32 mph before declaring itself completely hatstand
c: make you panic like buggery because you have an appointment with the nice SVA man in 60 hours time

There is a word to describe my feelings, comprising of seven letters,

I am currently rerouting the wiring to the back wheel in an attempt to get a more accurate reading.

I did mention the other day, if you remember, that I'd not seen a speedo pick up in that position before.

That's probably why!

Keep going mate!

cheers

Yes I do recall said conversation, and I recall you commenting how it looked good there too!

Anyway, I have fabricated a bracket for the rear upright and Ruthy has glued the last remaining magnet in Burton to the wheel.

we borrowed some glue for a very nice chap (Ash) at archway motors and this stuff actually smoked and went from purple to black as it cured, so hopefully this will stay stuck as far as Nottingham,

Failing this, has anyone any top tips for dash's that really do work as mine, doens't read the speed, the water temperature or the revs correctly
