Type 9 speedo take off measurements wanted
miikae - 15/9/09 at 05:11 PM

I am going to fit a electronic speedo impulse sender to the type 9 gearbox but its well boxed in, so i wonder if anyone can give me some measurements useing the gearshift top plate as a refferance point , Xmm down and Xmm forward etc , so i can then use a large hole cutter to gain access before fitting the sender unit.

I have got a spare Rocket box but not sure if the dimensions would be the same.

The reason for doing this is that magnets i have on the diff flange are ok up to 70mph but over that the speedo readings seem to give a lower reading and not too stable when dropping speed after either.

Thanks

Mike

Many thanks for that John, that should make things a bit easier , X markes the spot then drill a 3" hole in the tunnel in the morrow, it looks like it maybe the same position as the Type E Rocket i have as i checked it out today & it looks like they may well be the same.
