correct. i was watching some boxter s dials that are the same but have white faces and chrome surrounds, but they went for double how much i got these for, plus i prefer the discreet black. goes with the sleeper look (kinda)

no, i got the speedo to read accurate upto 32mph, at which point i think the transducer pulse width was to short for the clocks, as they sat at 0 after that. running them off an ABS sensor would possibly sort this though

From what I have gathered you should use an ABS senso for them... Thats all I have managed to find out though

there is a lad on migweb who has his running fine off a gearbox transducer. i think its a case of trial and error through the different transducers until you find one that works, which i may end up having to do anyway
