    Can you remember what speed sensor you used and it look like a smaller bolt in what would be a bigger hole there. I have the same JEMS setup but no speed sensor fitted and I see you have used the disc bolts. Was it two wire or 3?

      Poor quality picture, but looks like the old GT101

      Original Honeywell discontinued now, but there are others who make copies.

          The 15" verses 13" wheel debate is discussed everywhere else so I'm not going there but Ford designed it on 13" wheels and we have carefully engineered everything to work on 13" wheels.
          As for the width, despite stupid MSA rules about tyre width, we are using what we think will work best for testing but are prepared to experiment with different widths and then decide what type of competition we may or may not try.
          Indeed. Ford themselves tried 15" wheels on one of Timo Makkinen's Collibri sponsored Mk1. Word has it the now late chief rally mechanic christened it the Crop Sprayer!😁
