Any one ever fitted a wheels speed /abs sensor on a nova
Do you have a picture of the mount you made . I intend to use the drive shaft ring

do you have an disk brake conversion on the rear axle? if you do, you can place an astra mk3 bearing with abs/sensor built in.

maybe you can fit an early corsa b front hub with abs, so you have an oem abs braket? don't know if it will fit with the abs cv that you are using.?

Cant realy change my hubs as they are machined for audi bearings . And na I drums on the rear pal . I had more of a plan of fabricating a bracket to pick up the caliper bolts and hold the sensor

One a mate drew up . That uses the small bolts around the bearinghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171223/84e9198c065138f7bbf16036dc092bfd.jpg

that's probably your best option than.
what do you need the abs/speed sensor for?

i was planning on ranning an digidash speed sensor in the gearbox for boostbygear, mayby thats an option?
the downside is that you will need a digidash or gps based dash(race technology dash2 for exemple) if you want to have an working speedo on your dash.

there are an few different options on the puls settings on the speedsensors

The 1.2spi had a speed sensor with a normal speedo cable out the top

Easy enough to mount a rear speed sensor to pick up the 4 bolts/studs in the rear drum, seen it done on here though with someone in a project thread somewhere...

One of these through the back plate reading the 4 studs should work a treat... seen them also used for trip meters on rally cars and speedo drives

Doing it from the rear wheels will also negate wheel spin affecting any reading which you would have from the front
