[DeTomaso] Source for electric speedo sender for the ZF?

[Will Kooiman]

Thanks Dave,

I just ordered a box from Speed Hut.  It does what you describe.

I never woulda thunk such a thing existed.

It states that it has multiple inputs.  It has GPS input, but you can also use VSS, and it will use both or either.  Details on their website.

I actually still have a VSS from Milwaukee Speedometer Service.  Once it arrives, I'll post how well it works.  I'll try it with VSS, GPS, and both to see if there is a difference either way.

Btw, it comes with a 3' cable.  I chose the VW cable, since it said the speedo side was M18 x 1.5.

Will.

       I had my OEM Veglia speedo converted to electric operation by North
       Hollywood Speedometer. All they do is take the electric drive motor out
       of an electric speedo and attach it to the main drive shaft of the OEM
       speedo. It all fits within the OEM speedo case. The only clue that it's
       now an electric speedo is the pigtail hanging out of it! The electric
       motor now turns the speedo instead of a cable. The odometer and trip
       odometer are untouched and work as before. I used the motor from an Si
       speedo but any electric speedo motor will work. I suppose you could
       even use an Autometer stepper-motor speedo's electric motor. I use an
       Autometer GPS sending unit too. It works perfectly with my Si speedo
       motor. The beauty of a GPS sending unit is, it's very easy to calibrate
       and is accurate to 1 metre.

       Since I no longer needed a speedo cable, I purchased a VSS from
       Milwaukee Speedometer Service to replace the angle drive on my ZF. The
       VSS supplies the signals for my EZ Electric power steering and fuel
       injection ECU.
