Help needed to mount a Monit speed sensor
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2016 6:05 pm
Dear all
I have an Elan S3 which I use for classic rallys. I use a Monit rally computer with GPS. Due to restrictions and differencies between the GPS messurements and the local messurements from the Organizers equipment I would rather use a magnetic speed sensor which is more accurate. Normally you mount this close to the wheel bolts/studs in one of your wheels and Monit recommend this solution but I have tried to do this in many different ways with no success. Problem is that my Elan has center bolt and no rotating nuts or bolts in the wheels to use as sense points.
I have tried to find a visible part of the rotating propeller shaft as alternative for the sensor with no luck and also used the donut bolts but forgot how much the donut flex during driving.
Any help is appreciated because the season starts soon
Kind regards Lars
