Now thats a good idea, far easier than the method in the link just posted,
probably be a lot cheaper too,  makes an inherent lot of sense, use an
all digital method  overall.

There was a poster before who suggested something similar, use ABS
type pickup, think I misread that, thinking he was using only one, but of
course logical and clever to use two and look for phase difference.

mmmm, Think I'll take a closer look under my car next chance I get

Thanks for that,

:o)
