kiwi_110 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Much excitement today, the courier delivered a food parcel from my current fave LR parts supplier in the UK. Drive train bits for The Kids freebie, some ignition and dizzy bits for The Missus Disco, and my speed transducer for the VDO speedo conversion in the 110. On opening the dreaded Blue Box containing the latter, I disco-vered this... I didn't touch it, honest, it just fell apart... Little wonder, it's easy enough to see the traces of BEEF DRIPPING they glued it together with!!! At least I know what's in it now, innit. It's just a circular 8-pole magnet and a reed switch across the terminals. If anyone wanted to know about polarity etc, there's none. The rotating magnet makes and breaks the reed switch contact, interrupting the 12V signal 8 times per revolution of the shaft. That's it. job done. Ray.
