Hi
Well, at least this thread started a little discussion. I think what I 
need now is access to a non overdrive gearbox. Anyone on the list with 
such a gearbox care for getting a little dirty? Calculate the number of 
turns on the prop shaft is required to turn the speedometer cable 1 
turn. I'll do the same on my car.

As far as I know the magnets are permanent magnets. I don't think 
permanent magnets change. If that would be the case every speedometer 
out there would be different and eventually give up. Magnetism is a 
science in itself, but as I have understood it a permanent magnet is 
made of a certain combination of materials and doesn't change. And you 
can not recharge it either.
