[DeTomaso] Speedometer

[Will Kooiman]

I bought one of these.  Ken suggested it earlier.  I don't recall if he was the first.

https://speedhut.com/accessories/sensors/speed-sensors/speedbox-cable-included-gps-vss-to-mechanical-drive-speed-converter/

It has a stepper motor to convert GPS/Hall Effect to mechanical.  The docs say it has 2 inputs - GPS and/or Hall Effect.

I haven't installed it yet, but I'm sure others on the list have experience with it.

    I will check. I would expect Borletti since it is a 1974 model.

    Thanks,

    Do you have a VDO or Borletti angle drive?
