Drill a hole in grease cap. Use the VW cap as guide for hole size (a small file can square the corners of hole)

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)

Rally cars run them on the undriven wheels (when that's an option) purely because wheel spin upsets the distance travelled and thus the notes between driver and co-driver. On AWD cars you can basically run them on any corner, though depending on your diff setup Front is still 'best'.

Regardless, thanks DWP (Dave) that CV ring / mount is exactly what I wanted to find for my project
