E magnets uk this is what people have used in the past, are you using a speedo healer?

Raid a fridge at the tip?

Seem to remember Conrod used some from a fridge for one of his cars.

Cheers,

Do you really need magnets,i remember someone saying you dont have to use them.

Didn't use magnets on mine. Just fit the sensor to pick up on the prop bolts but make sure the heads are set to the same relative position . Been OK for 2 years and was accurate for SVA.

if they are the "rare earth" stronger than a strong thing on steroids maplins do them,if you need weak southern spec ones,raid the fridge door

How many bolts did it need Rusty Nuts, and obviously, you need them equally spaced.

rrv clocks need 9 magnets with 185/60 13 wheels and 3.65 diff if placed on prop, no speedo healer required.
