I'm building a 915 tranny in my spare time and just got the machining done for the R&P flop.
The speedometer pickup will have to be machined into the side of the side cover. Unfortunately, it will not be nearly as close to the magnetic ring as original. Anyone done this with success? |

We did machine a pickup point on the side cover of my 915 by dremeling away part of a stiffening rib, and flattening the cover to mount the pickup. We safety wired the pickup onto the adjacent ribs, and it's worked fine. You do have to have a pretty strong signal through the case to pick up the magnetic pulses, but it's been working fine. I used the quarter sized pickup, I believe the later ones are smaller.
I believe it would be easier to get an aftermarket billet side cover that would be easier to machine, but mine works nicely. |
