Type 9 electronic speedo adapter
Has anyone used one of these adapters with a ford speedo sensor to run an electronic speedo? (as shown on page 84 of the 2009 burton catalogue)
Any problems with it? Anything good/bad to report?
Cheers
James

I use one and it works well with my smiths telemetrics speedo, make sure you have enough clearance between your tunnel and the socket though, i dont
have a burton catalog to hand, but i think i got mine form there so am assuming its the same one. Its about 2" long and 1.5" wide so if
your tunnel is tight it may be a pita to get it in.
For me it was worth every penny as my magnets/pickup were giving me no end of problems.

Cheers for the feedback. I've just been and measured up and the width looks like it's going to be tight, plus I've added a bracket
just in that area to support the brake line! Doh.
Think I'll get it then re-work the tunnel. Like the idea better than trying to get the radius on a cable or paying for a 90 degree converter.

I made a sender!  (yeah, I know, smug bu**er) 
Here 'tis, without its lid...
 
speedo sender
This fits instead of the speedo cable on the type 9 box.
The material cost was almost zero (just the cost of a hall sensor & magnet) but if I'd added up all the hours it took to design and make, I
could have bought a new gearbox & commercial sender!
