Mind you, that was about 7 years ago, but I would hope they are still sub $100.00 You just drive, say, 5km (like the test runs on the freeway) and tell them what your odometer actually reads, and they make the box to suit. I never had one last more than 12 months, but maybe I do too much bush-bashing and they get ripped off by sticks or something The VDO speedos are great, and might be worthwhile, particularly if you already have the sender. They can work off 4 different sender types: Hall-effect Hall-effect with an open collector circuit Interruption oscillator Inductive Most likely the sender you have is one of these, so no adaptation should be required. Work out which one of these your sender is, and you are in business. To calibrate the speedo, you just push the button on the front, drive a measured 1km, push again and you're done - no pulse dividers needed. (You can also do it 'real time' on a dyno, or enter 'pulses per km', but I never found the need for that...) [Updated on: Fri, 10 September 2004 01:07] [Report message to a moderator]
