Speedo magnets

Hi,

Anyone know a good source for speedo sender magnets, just fitted but I've already lost 2 magnets (My own impatient fault), so I think I'll keep a few for spares.

Cheers

Ebay

couple of quid for 10.

I bought some for an Acwell. Very strong

Have you had a good look to see if they have found a new home on some nearby metalwork .

Too keen to test it eh!!

Yup Had a good look around, no where in sight, checked all the metalwork nearby.

Yup fitted two and left the overnight to set, but when I tested it, the speedo calibration didn't go low enough, so fitted the additional magnets and gave it a hour or so to dry.... seems it needs a little more than that......oh well you live and learn.

Patience is a virtue and inpatience causes magnet loss !!

You could try those ebay magnets as i'd like to know if they are any good for speedo senders .

During a rebuild a couple of years back I found three in the transmission tunnel.........

I haven't lost any since i drilled a small hole and pushed them in with a bit of araldite.......
