Search almost all projects but I can't find any pictures of speedo sensor mountings at the front. Can't figure out exactly how to place them...

Therefor, who has any pictures of their set up? Or has some helpfull info?

Thanks!

Laters!

rene ,
are you putting your car through sva? if you are then the sensor magnets needs to mounted on the rear axle as the speed test is is done on the rollers, with the driven wheels.

Ady, We have a 4wd roller up here so you can go for the front non driven wheels. It was installed for subarus and evos with variable transmitions as you dont get a true reading off 1 axle. Also the motorbike rollers rotate the front wheels.

its about time they brought something out like that, i wonder if they've installed them at all stations?

Do you have to keep posting things like this . Fitted Andy's on the front wheel so now you've got me worried again . Will have to check what Leighton Buzzard have.
I HATE sva and all the stupid rules that no one understands. Think i'll stick to normal cars

You will be fine believe me. They must have the rotating rollers or they cannot operate.

Feel guilty now sorry guys! just remember when i took cobra for sva last year he plonked the rear wheels in and drove it up to 70mph through the gears, he even put a big fan in front of car to keep it cool.

was just thinking why would he waste time getting a fan out (and waste my petrol after all it had a big v8 in it!) if they had auto rollers?


i am just hoping i can help people, at least they can check with there individual test centres

the next round is on me!! (for undue stressed caused)

There is a big bike chain linking the rollers with a tensioner so the rollers can move to suit the length. On most rwd they will just use the front set of rollers and chock the front wheels. But on 4wd or our minis they will use all 4 rollers and put ratchet straps on to tie it down.

And another thing, if you are using 7x13 wheels and sports pack arches, you will have to use 6x13.
He uses a spirit level or straight edge vertically on the wheels. And at the top it must hit the arch first.
Don't forget you need side repeaters also. And remember to put a fuel neck restricter so you can only insert a unleaded nozzle.
If using a digi dash or what ever set the speedo to read 5-10 mph faster. So when doing 25 mph it reads 30.
