Update: Replaced instruments with electronic type. Lots of tiny wires.

Torontonian said:It's the cheapest simplest one. A fake cable into the Speedo drive gearbox that contains a sensor with protruding rubber shrouded tip. Small and not noticeable. There is also an option where the Speedo drive unit is rebuilt with a Hall-vane sensor instead of the internal gears , obviously to do away with the gearbox gear large gear which eventually fails.
Hi Eddie, I am surprised to learn about the negative earth requirement. CnW doesn't mention this in their description!That's what I used, and so long as the speedo drive unit is in good condition, I can confirm it works well. I'm changing Mine though, with a modified version of the super neat cNw set up (requires modifying as Matt's kit is for neg earth components).
it might be the cross-shaft gears and splines giving you slopUpdate: Spent all night peacefully wet hand sanding out with 220 grit all the nicks and scratches inflicted by the previous owner to the primary cover. Finer grits for later. Noticed the shifter lever is a tad sloppy , so will be replacing the bush and seal soon.
