Brantz Ford / EU Gearbox Sensor
The Brantz Ford / EU Gearbox Sensor provides an electronic speed signal for compatible Brantz tripmeters and Retrotrips. Designed to fit inline between the gearbox and speedometer cable, it converts mechanical rotation into electronic pulses that the connected Brantz instrument uses to calculate speed and distance.
With an M18 × 1.5mm gearbox thread and a 2.7mm square drive pin, this sensor is suitable for a range of European vehicle applications, including selected models from Ford, GM, Vauxhall, Volvo, Volkswagen, Škoda, Lada and Fiat. Always check the gearbox thread and drive configuration before ordering to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
