Rally trip wheel sensor fitting help

[28hodge 22]

I have a rally trip wheel sensor to fit to the 205. I have mounted these previously to a mini using the speedo cable sensor and put one on a friends escort and used the prop with 4 tabs welded onto it. I prefer the wheel sensors as think they are more accurate on a non driven wheel rather than on the driven wheels via a prop or the speedo cable.

 

What have others done on the 205's? had a very quick look last night and seems drilling through the backplate of the rear drum and picking up the heads on the wheel studs (car runs the PTS stud conversion) might work but without taking the drum off and looking not sure the heads would sit prod enough to pick up?

 

also I am sure I have seen on here that someone welded tabs onto the drum and used these as a pick up, I cannot for the life of me find it via searching.

 

If anyone has a setup they'd share it would be appreciated.

There isn't room to get the probe past all the gubbins inside the drum, I tried. I tig brazed 2 tabs on the exterior of the drum and make a bracket for the probe and welded it to the backplate. Works well done a few events like that now.

cheers Tom, it may have been your picture that I remember seeing?

 

I assume the Brantz M18x1.5 gearbox adapter doesn't fit?

Hi all - hope everyone had a great Christmas 

 

Sorry to resurrect this old post ......but was wondering if any one else out there  has successfully fitted a Brantz wheel sensor to a disc braked rear beam on a 205 please......and might possibly have some images that they could share please and provide some inspiration  

 

Many thanks in advance everyone

Disc brakes are a lot easier, you can look at the back of the wheel studs (if you have them fitted). Just a case of making a bracket to suit to hold the sensor.

I’ve looked and I haven’t got a photo of how I did it. But my rear brakes are different from standard anyway so wouldn’t be how anyone else would do it.
