I'm not sure man, never quite worked it out. I thought it may have been a JDM/UKDM thing at one point, but then that didn't seem to make a difference either. Would hate to think it was a "What's in the part bin today?" job :lol:

It shouldn't matter, the brackets can be changed over. I had to use an O/S one on my N/S when I fixed it last and just unbent the brackets round the cable and switched them over. Added like 5 minutes onto the job.

Right PM coming your way. Although, I'll feel bad if the new guy needs the same one vtecmec? :?
Oh wait - I've just resolved that problem with my explanation above - I'll just send him the other side if that's the case. 8)

Not the brackets Rob, the actual sensor (where it bolts to the hub) - seems there were two versions of that mount.

:facepalm:

Right, yep, makes more sense now. Only ever seen two bolt ones on all the Preludes I've looked at. :?

Anyway, we're good to go.
