Another speedo thread..

I currently have the old Mk 2 ETB gauges (with the fully red needle), however, the speedo has started to have some electrical issues (speedo reads slow or not at all, trip and milometer flashing and failing). It's been repaired before at ETB apparently, however think it's end of life.

I'm going to replace both the speedo and rev counter with an Acewell Digidash as this will fit in the space left by the 2 gauges - my question is, will the ETB speedo sensor work with the Acewell or should I use the one that comes with the kit (trying to avoid having to take the tunnel trim off if I can).

Cheers :-)

What's the sensor on the ETB, the Acewell will be looking for a squarewave signal? Assuming the ETB uses either Hall sensor or reed switch then should be fine. Depending on how many pulses per revolution the ETB sensor is putting out you may need to change the P setting on the Acewell.

Don't forget Ollie at Furore Products will do you a 5% discount on the Acewell as a LCB member!

Cheers Russ - it's a standard Hall Sensor (but with 4 magnets on the prop shaft, not 2, so will need to change the P setting on the Acewell for sure). Discount noted :-)
