Does anyone have pictures of their SIP sensor monting to a disc brake set up?

I've searched around and not found many images that apply to my set up.

Thanks.

Get the magnet as close to the sensor as possible.

However, mine is proving close to impossible to set up, and I am getting extremely pissed off with it (see Lambretta SIP Speedo More Trouble Than Its Worth thread)

Having spent 2 days at the Euro speaking to people (no definite answers or hints & tips) and looking at all the bikes that have one, about 80% of the SIP set ups I saw run a cable, not a sensor. I might have to try this before I throw mine in the bin and get something else. It promises much, but in my experience, delivers nothing but flustration.

If you get it working, please let me know how!

Mount it with right bracket to the i letter on frame of the brake. Glue magnet directly on base of the disk.

You don't need a magnet if it's the active sensor (which is the one that SIP sell).

Mine just pics up on the rear hub studs and I'm sure you could pick up of the disc mount bolts on the front (provided you could get the sensor near them).
