DIY Knock ears
Thinking it's time I step and get a set of knock ears.
What are people using for DIY knock ears?

The link is no longer valid but I created a PDF of it back in the day.
Works a treat. Easy & cheap to make.
Hope that helps.

Re: DIY Knock ears
Anyone thinking of making one and shop at Jaycar be quick as the transducer is now not being restocked and some stores are sold out. They work a treat.

Re: DIY Knock ears
I used the professional "knock box" and these sensors.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Knock-Senso ... 1438.l2649
I permanently mounted the sensors on my block, had the machine shop drill and tap the lugs on the block while they were doing the machining so I could chuck two sensors on it.

I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.

Re: DIY Knock ears
That's probably a much better sensor to use because your not hearing all the other engine noises as well.

Re: DIY Knock ears
I've got one of those bolt on knock sensor too. Just need to get the other few bits.
I was hoping Festy was going to make more of his little knock boxes but it was not to be.
