katana Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 (edited) Is this AI generated? Why would any mk1 or mk2 owner require a speed sensor bracket for a non existant speed sensor ? ? ? And the 1st picture shows said bracket fitted to a hub, with cap head screws that are welded to the bracket (well that ain't coming off!) but the whole thing - bracket, bolts and weld are Zinc Plated, how as the bolts are welded . . . . . . . . but why? - its stainless steel ! Looks like a con to me! Edited June 5 by katana

Looks like a con to me! no con. i purchased the zink one, then had them made in stainless steel, as there would be no rust issues, the weld on bolts, just allow you to remove steering arm bracket without removing brake disc, for futher work. the speed sensor bracket is req to read speed if using another form of dashboard, as i am running DASH2 Edited June 6 by mpdevelopments.uk 1

Dave Knight Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 Great to see some innovative work that brings some value to owners who’d use this.👏🏻👏🏻
Miniliteman Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 If you need this it is good that it is available but I wouldn't say copying a bracket (small piece of metal with 3 holes) innovative work. AI generated description seems to be quite common these days.
mpdevelopments.uk Posted June 8 Author Report Posted June 8 Great to see some innovative work that brings some value to owners who’d use this.Thanks dave. I purchased the zink one to fit to my project. But found the quality not as I'd expect. So I thought. Let make it from 316 stainless, so it would last. Then I thought maybe someone else would like this sensor bracket in stainless. CheersSent from my SM-S711B using Tapatalk
mpdevelopments.uk Posted June 8 Author Report Posted June 8 Updated pic of bracket. This one is zink. New ones are 316 stainless, Because of someone not being fully informed of its intended use and fitment. Sent from my SM-S711B using Tapatalk

GrahamU Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 (edited) Ok if you are using it just for speed into a digi dash, although I would also consider one of the inline speed sensors that go in the speedo cable. What are you using for the trigger wheel? Just make sure you dont use it for any for of traction control, I know a guy who did that on an F1 car at a test, driver was told to floor it and let the ECUs control it, the rears spun up but the fronts were not moving so the ECM put more power into the rear wheels till it hit the wall, not sure if there was more smoke from the tyres on the car or from the guy leaving the facility 🤣 Edited June 9 by GrahamU
mpdevelopments.uk Posted June 9 Author Report Posted June 9 Hi grahamIt's only fitment is run on mk1 and mk2 escorts if you are running mx5 or rx6 gearboxes as they dont have any form of speedo cable fitment. As its controlled by the mazda ecu. And so need a speed sensor that picks up on front hub bolts as a way to determine speed once connected to a aftermarket dash. Hope this explains things.

GrahamU Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 (edited) Ok, reading a little on it I see they use the ABS for speed But that is for the sensor only, how you mounting the reluctor ring Edited June 9 by GrahamU

I just re-read your previous responses and see you are using the wheel bolts as the reluctor, do you have a working example yet? I assume you will be machining the heads of those studs to all be the same height otherwise you will get bad data from them

Johnny Boy Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago What I need is a way to run a MX5 / R8 Gearbox that has an electronic speedo sensor in the box, to run with my analogue Escort Sport dash 🤪 Any one got ant ideas ?
