[DML] Re: Angle Driveless Speedometer

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right now on E-bay there is an electronic speedometer BTTF prop. Maybe someone can figure out how to use it for a more permanant solution. As of now it does not include an odometer.

Since I've got an electronic speedo, I have a sending unit at attached to the top side of the lamda counter which converts the lower cable rotations to the electronic pulses for the speedo.  (No upper cable at all.)  If/when my angle drive fails, I'll move the transducer out to the hub and eliminate the angle drive and lower cable also.  (The 8:9 ration won't be an issue because the electronic speedo is easily recalibrated.)

It's essentially a motor that reads the pulses then drives a cable to the mechanical speedo.  Here's one example: http://www.atrol.com/cablex.htm ; for $310.
