hi there first post, building a strange brew bongo and really need to ascertain whether the abs wheel sensors are just a 2 wire coil magnet which just produces an ac wave or fed a voltage and earth from abs controller making them a hall sensor with square wave output any advice much appreciated

Welcome!
2-wire coil sensor is all, there have been repairs made in the past worth searching but remember the search criteria has to have more than 3 letters in it

Not from a design first implemented 20+ years ago!

Luckily enough I’ve found a converter that hopefully will enable the abs sensor to communicate with Ecu and speedo

Well if it works let us know here as the price of replacement ones are silly! Someone on here did rewind one as I recall ah yes

Just ignore the nonsense from one or two old lags.

i bought it from autodoc they were £5.80 on ebay and £2.75 from autodoc only downside was they charge £7 for delivery so in hindsight ebay is cheaper ive got some photos of part no on box but they are widely available stupidly enough the connector plugs are about £6 each but sure beats paying almost £200 for a "Bongo" abs sensor for the sake of a little soldering

Can you give the part numbers and make etc that you bought for future reference?
