ABS upgrade / transplant related question

[Tony Hoffman]

I would think the computer would be fine if all the trigger wheels are
swapped to the same number of teeth. It is simply comparing the values of
each wheel. However, no BTDT personally.

THen again, if it also uses a signal from the Speedo it may be mroe
complicated than that. Only one way to find out......;-)
