Gave up on that idea months ago bud...nw208":23rv9dwb said:p.s. anyone else completely fed up with rushing to complete the sva before the iva?
As a thought, is it not easier to mount this on the driveshafts at the rear or is the cable not long enough? As you can guess I haven't fitted one, you have just got me thinking. If not, how about mounting it in the centre bit of the front wheel where the driveshaft would have gone and mounting the sensor on the hub itself.nw208":d8sc12b1 said:How and where have you guys fitted the magnet to your front wheels.
I was thinking of using epoxy resin / araldite.
Any suggestions/photos would be appreciated.
p.s. anyone else completely fed up with rushing to complete the sva before the iva?

I know it's an older post, but I've just read this, and I'm sure it can't be right, as Hillman Imp speedos are driven of the n/s/f wheel, which is not drivn....Phaeton":3gih5ktf said:Sorry just had another thought, for the SVA man to test the speedo it has to be on the driven wheels, if you put it on the front wheel it can't be tested. I put my magnet on the front with my first buggy, at testing time he said he'd seen it working in the yard, asked me how I'd calibrated it, so told him by sat nav & he passed it. Not sure if all testers would do the same, they could either refuse to test or fail.
Just another one, if you have a puncture & change the wheel, you'll not have a speedo again.

The IVA wasn't around when the Imp was in production and we weren't part of the EU who make stupid protectionism rules, times change.Buggybloke":35nnbt3k said:I know it's an older post, but I've just read this, and I'm sure it can't be right, as Hillman Imp speedos are driven of the n/s/f wheel, which is not drivn....Phaeton":35nnbt3k said:Sorry just had another thought, for the SVA man to test the speedo it has to be on the driven wheels, if you put it on the front wheel it can't be tested.
