[QUOTE="69ST, post: 175840, member: 5"] AFAIK they're all 12 volt, so take that into consideration. You'd tap into a (+) circuit that is activated when the key is switched to "on". Both the brake light & horn have feeds inside the HL shell. Next up, you'd install a mount, near the axle, for the speed sensor. Some require a magnet on the wheel, others can use the existing bolt heads, or a single bolt, as a trigger. Either way, there'll be a two-conductor lead to connect back to the speedo head unit; that's actually the easy part, it can be wrapped to the brake hose. As for the actual speedometer head unit, that depends on your taste and budget. At the low-cost end of the spectrum, Trail Tech is a nice option. You'd get speedo, odo (a.k.a. CT70 fuel gauge), rpm and timer. Last I checked, these were ~$125. I've seen a few K0-style electronic units that fit into a K0 HL shell. They used to be all over ebay for ~$60 a pop. All of that said, you might wanna just try your existing speedometer with the new cable & drive. It [I]should be[/I] plug & play. No idea how close the readings will be. What've you got to lose by testing it? [/QUOTE]
