Front wheel speed sensor retrofit ideas?
Yeah, that's a fair point on the difference and another math problem I probably need to actually do some numbers on before I worry too much. The real question is going to be what resolution the front wheel speeds sensors read and how much of a difference one tooth could possibly make at slow speeds. The main example I had where you might be just after one stud and waiting forever for the next one vs just catching the edge of one at the start of a pull is the "worst case" scenario I can think of. One extra tooth matters if you only have 5 to read from as it's a 20% difference, but then again if it's only 20% of 1 mph then it's only 0.2 mph and probably not a big deal and likely something I could just tune around.
I did find some B body drum brake hubs though, so that does seem to be something that exists (pictures below) and might be a way to get to the two piece rotor/hub idea more easily, though I still suspect getting rotors to fit over them and still fit inside the calipers could be a challenge. Probably easier to just go the full retrofit route at that point and change the caliper and caliper bracket to use a larger modern rotor.
