Yes, indeed, that's the speedo drive. Early cars did not have speedos as standard, so there was no gear drive off the gearbox or rear axle.

thanks

Hi
Are you sure it isn't a very early form of ABS?


When I first saw the above I thought they were an electronic speedo drive, It seems that every time something new comes out it has already been done before though maybe for a different purpose.

I had a good idea that it wasn't for ABS.
