If so did the replacement come with a digital sender, if so do you still have it.
as all the wedges are manual, but I'm fitting a digital dash in the RC and need a digital sender.

Thanks

I've replaced 4 gearboxes!

However, all mechanical speedo drives. Now I have a good selection of different nylon cogs!

The speedo cable is very short and goes thru the bulk head to engine bay and into a small box.. another speedo cable then goes across the back of the engine bay - over the other side and on to the LT77 gearbox.

Out of the small box (road speed sensor) come 2 or 3 wires and at least one of these goes to the ECU (Hot wire only I think..).

It's part of the idle control system.

we normally use a sensor picking up from the back of the studs on a front hub..

so you get 5 pulses per rotation of the wheel

Thanks G,

If I can't find one I'll do that.

Was plaing to have an engine drive input and also an input from each wheel.
