[DML] Re: WANTED: Angle Drive

["Dave Swingle" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not saying it can't be done (and I'm sure some techno-head will do it 
now!) but as a practical matter it's a different story. It's easy to 
theorize, hard to do. 

The problem, at least as a vendor, is doing it for a retail sale price 
of less than $1-200 including the speedometer head modification or 
drive motor, in a fashion such that the average owner can install it 
themselves. Anyone designing and building their own stuff doesn't have 
this restriction. There isn't a large world market for and $800 fix to 
a $60 problem. 

Most modern cars don't have the speedo pickup hanging on the front 
suspension, rather it's in somewhere a lot more environmentally 
friendly such as in the differential or transmission.
