WTD (To borrow) - A Frame
Hi
I'm setting up my speedo and read that someone else towed the kitcar using an A frame to calibrate the speedo.

Does anyone in East Sussex have one I can borrow?
Thanks
Stuart

why not use a Sat Nav thingy, they tell you the GPS speed?

Yeah that's the plan but I can't drive the car on the road until it's passed the test but need to set the speedo before the test.
Doh. Thinking towing it with gps onboard would be an easy solution.

Can it not be programmed pretty accurately using the gear ratios/diff/tyre size? plenty of gizmo's to tell speed from revs on the net.
