Thread: ABS Front wheel sensor Softdash Classic

Before I get tempted to dig them out/re-join, can anyone give me the full WABCO numbers, as there are bound to be 'equivalents' out there.

Or would the Front wheel sensor from something else fit straight in? (Long shot...)

diameter is 15.9mm and length is about 58mm - metal section. Wires appear to have entered down into the top...

There is a magnet inside the unit, strong enough to almost support it's own weight when touching the vernier.

Otherwise the sensor goes back in to fill the hole.... I've seen one price of over $320 for a replacement.... - yet P38 or D1's are under $50 / thereabouts....

Ive used d1/ earlier rrc ones in softdash models.

Thanks ! prices range well over the $300, worst was $462. - Seems Classic AND D1 sensors are made of Unobtanium....

found this one at a good price, but won't ship to Oz...

EDIT:-

Found another UK supplier who will ship to us down here... Phew,,, Panic over ! Also evilbay-based

😕😕 don't buy any aftermarket ABS sensors...😯
Better off with genuine used than those.

I had a horrible feeling someone would say that.....

Just out of Curiosity, what's the problem with 'aftermarket' ones ? Sensitivity? Consistancy? quality?

James. If you talk nicely to Baggie, the one on the 93 chassis he just took might just fit?

I't finally gone ?

. . . But does he not crave the WABCO ABS Super-System ?

(or, why should we be the only ones to suffer it's $illiness...)

He already has a 2nd classic - only wanted my remains for the engine. It's Baggy not Baggie - excellent citizen so give him a PM.

It fits perfectly.

Not only but also, Casey (a.k.a. Baggy) rang this morning...and personally delivered it.
