I have one which I bought for my locust many years ago but never got round to fitting it before I fitted a replacement engine and box which came with one fitted.
I can send it to you for half the burton price

"have you considered just using a magnet type?"

Can i have my speedo changed over to that then?

Andy, you havnt got an elbow on your old xflow box have you ???

mine was connected to a type 9 that i've kept and i don't have any speedo sender to begin with lol!
I'm assuming your speedo is a mechanical one (e.g. it has a cable rather than a wire) that plugs into the speedo which is driven by the gearbox. If that's the case you can change to an electronic one, but it would involve a different speedo, a speedo sender magnet thingy and the wiring between, oh and calibration i suppose, so in retrospect probably not the cheapest option..

That does not look a thousand miles away from a classic rangerover speedo drive, the right angled bit up behind the speedo, not on the gearbox.
