That's cool! I don't normally like Speedster replicas, but that is going to be awesome Happy

The photos are great. By the way, where did the speed sensor come from? I haven't seen one that works with a vw speedometer cable and I am very interested in getting one. Thank you.

We got it from subaruboxer who is in Germany (I think), apparently they are used a lot in taxis. They only give two pulses per rev opposed to the 4 that Subaru uses but it seems to work fine..

Another interesting project Rich. I think your days must have more hours in them than mine do!

I stock a speedo cable VSS for the standard -->83 M18 x 1.5 VW speedo cable thread. See http://www.rjes.com/html/vss.html .

They are 4 pulse, fit the cable perfectly without mods (unlike some I tried), and work perfectly on a Subaru engine. I cab also get 8 pulse ones to order, if that's any use on other engines.

Cheers for the info Rich but we sourced a screw in pulse generator years ago, he is also using the 924 gauges so could have got the signal from that too!
