Vehicle Speed Sensor
After checking out the vehicle speed sensor bracket in the kit I decided to make a new one. The bracket in the kit only has one mounting hole and is made from pretty thin material. Since the clearance between the speed sensor and the reluctor wheel should be .030", I wanted to make sure the sensor was rock solid. From the picture below you can see the bracket I came up with uses two bolts and is made from a thicker material than the stock unit. I also added a welded gusset under the 90 degree bend to increase the stiffness of the bracket (gusset was not in place when I took the pics).
Also shown in the pics below is some grinding I did to the reluctor wheel. From the pics you can see flats on the inside diameter where the bolts mount. This was done to provide clearance between the inner CV clamp and the reluctor wheel. I figured the CV clamp would rub on the reluctor wheel until it failed if this clearance was not created.

Schroth Profi II ASM Harnesses
Since I got going on this project I have always planned on putting harnesses in my GTM. I figured it would add to the GTM experience and look pretty cool. After some harness research I purchased a pair of Schroth Profi II ASM harnesses. These harnesses are DOT legal and have provisions to add a anti-sub belt. There are not many DOT legal harnesses to choose from and these are very high quality.
