If your spindle is drilled for a an abs sensor you can use the abs sensor by grounding one wire and running the other to the speedo. Did that for the race car and it works perfect.

Does your speedo use a electronic conversion module from the stock bug speedo cable? I was going that route, but I have something WAY OVER THE TOP now! (will show in a few months)

speedometer sender

Hi sorry for the delayed response,I have no module , at he moment I just have the electronic auto meter speedo ,I am planning on using the auto meter sender with that fitted to the front 944 spindle. I am assuming they make a cable to connect the two together .

You might consider this Electric Speed Ring .

Interesting this one. Whether to take the signal from the front (undriven) wheel or to take it from the CV. On balance I would have thought it better to use the undriven wheel since it can only go at road speed unless it is airborne. The driven wheel has the potential that it can spin or actually be stationary with no drive with an open diff. The abs ring on the front wheel seems the best of the options. The undriven wheel is the typical location for the sensor for the Halda style trip computers used in most rally cars (4 wheel drive excepted) so it seems to be the logical location.
