Modern ABS for a tracked 240 (Teves MK60 swap)

We also have a real diff (clutch type from Gripper), so I never bothered looking.

Trying to avoid that expense =)

Since somebody was interested, here's the cut file for the rear tone rings.

Cut out of 3/16" aka 0.188" aka 4.75mm mild steel.

The center hole is a few thou undersize to allow for tolerance when laser cutting, you can probably press it on as-is, or open it up a little with a sanding roll.

I've ordered, what I thought were the correct sensors for the front, but everything keeps coming in too short.

Has anyone done this and can tell me a specific model year car I need the front sensor from?

It is possible I had the wrong sensor in the bag, but I've ordered twice now, neither have fit. Even with the trimming, they are about 3/4 or an inch too short.

Which sensors are you talking about?
The BMW or Nissan sensors?

BMW, But if there is a modern Nissan sensor that will work in the 240 spindle, I'm all ears.

Found a better sensor for the rear axles, no longer requires painful carving of the strain relief, etc.

It's a Nissan part (in my case a cheap clone sold under the 'Autex' brand), cross references 479007S025, ALS624, 5S10761, SU12214, 084-4776, 411.482.

EDIT: race-tested this last weekend, works just fine for us with ~1mm clearance to the reluctor.



STL for the bracket

I also used the $15 nissan sensors front+rear, and "works in a 240 spindle" is a relative term. I made brackets out of angle aluminum, BUT I think they only fit because I'm using S60R rotors instead of stock 240 parts.

I'm running S60R rotors. I just want something I can bolt through the existing hole of the strut tube. Trying to avoid running brackets under the rotors. I was hoping the Nissan sensors you guys were mentioning would just bolt through.

Guess I'll just try ordering some other BMW sensors and be more specific about the year and make sure its from an M3.

Edit- I'm only trying to get a speed signal from the front currently. I'll end up doing something with a tone ring on the diff for the rear. This is just to feed my Maxx/Gauge cluster some speed info/traction control etc.

Why not just run the stock 240 ABS stuff then?
