Its from an early 440 not the later electrical type!!! Well with the right info you could have one in your car within 30mins!!! :wink: The first time i took it out for a test drive it only took me an hour to get it in the car!!!

Is it acurate as I need this kind of mod its becoming a pain hanging over the 120 mark. It would be nice to know what speed I am doing.

Its more accurate than the 300 one to be honest, as the 300 one reads a tad high which i suppose is a good thing but i calibrated mine using the driving comp, and its spot on!!!!

Cool it should show a bit slow for me then as the front tyres are 185/60/14's. What age 400 does it need to be? I think this is now going to be a popular part in the breakers.
