Retro fitting Wheel speed sensors

[Jimster]

I'm trying to work out the best way of mounting some sensors for the wheel speed on the front of my mini (old one not BMW). Has anyone done this?? Or has anyone got any ideas on how would be best todo this? As always space is a premium, I was thinking of mounting them inboard, but I think there is too much play on the internal pot joints. Any advice would be great,

Cheers

Totally depends on how the front end is configured. Would the rear end be easier?

Normally you try to pick up a bolt head or the back side of a wheel stud.

I really want them on the driven wheel so I can work out wheel speed etc.

I'm not going to mill 36 groves into my CV's and aim the sensor at them. Anyone know how deep the groves need to be??

If you want true speed then it might be better to mount them to a rear wheel as you can get wheelspin on the driven wheel.

If you want to monitor wheelspin then the front is the correct place. Generally, even one pulse per wheel revolution is accurate enough for most people.
