Its not that hard to fit an electronic speedo that runs off a Hall Sensor. Basically its a magnet that you stick to a driveshaft, drum brake backplate, wheel. When it passes the sensor it induces an electronic pulse, the speedo then reads how many pusles its getting in a given timeframe and by using the wheel diameter (which you input) it can work out your speed.
Other guages are generally pretty easy to install using the standard sensors, except an Ammeter, which can be dangerous if you don't get the wiring right, given the amount of current it has to cope with.
Thanks Jammy.
Are electronic speedos like that sold as a pack or would I need to buy a speedo from a modern car and then some sort of pulse module to feed it the correct info? I was under the understanding that modern cars take their speed readings directly from the ECU? Or am I wrong?
Yeah I read a post about ammeters and how much wiring there is to them. To be perfectly honest, if I could get a matching speedometer and tachometer to put in the middle of my dash I wouldn't be too fussed about any other gauges, maybe a temperature gauge for good measure.
Thanks again Jammy.
