As above, 1mm alloy bracket is too thin, either a 2 or 3mm steel/stainless bracket mounted to the gearbox is the best way to mount the sensor.

Adding to Mels post, there needs to be an equal gap between the sensor and each of the targets it's pointed at, if the gaps are unequal, you will get a poor signal. Not sure on the recommended gap but on an abs sensor I checked, the gap was 0.3mm. Pointing at the nut ends, you may still get a poor signal, is be inclined to point at the cap head end.
Bracket arrived from Craig and very nice it is too.
I put 2 washers between the bracket and the gearbox so that the sender was not overhanging the flange at all.
I put a rivnut in for a captive earth connection.
Adjusted the clearance to about 1.5mm and perfect speedo readings. Checked with road angel in car.
Now to rebook test for last iva point.

IVA retest today for speedo.
Craigs bracket on. 30 seconds on rollers up through the gears and thumbs up.
IVA passed.
Now for registration and painting.
Well done on the pass......
That was the easy bit ...lol you wait to see how clever the DVLA are at sorting you some plates!!
No, hopefully it will be better for you when I did mine they had just changed from local offices to the central system and it literally took me months to get a set of plates from them
Another one on the road for summer 2015 then
Excellent news!
congratulations to passed IVA, and tell us which color or livery it will have!
