If you don't mind changing the connector, the HES plates from the K1200 series will also fit the K100 and K1100 series. TWB measured one for me as I've been offered a K1200 plate and I wasn't sure it would fit. Ebay shows them around half the price of a K100 unit.

good find 

but im still replacing hall effect devices to the plate , successfully

I would do that Charlie, but the cost of two HED + shipping is pretty much the same as a K1200 plate.

Somewhere deep within the Big Block thread there's a picture and details of what needs to be done to the connector from K12 to K100/1100 to be able to use the K12 plate. It's what I did when fitting a K1200RS engine to the K11 engine loom. I recall I swapped two leads colour for colour, like orange to black and vice versa. I'll have a squiz to find it. Unless Dai already knows the details and can inform us sooner...

I just did a speed read through the BB thread and I must not have posted up the wiring requirements for the HES plate swap. I'm sure I still have the diagramme that came with the pieces, somewhere in my garage. Let's see if I can find it and post it up.

really ?  

wow !!!

Where the pins go.

I can get a CYHME56C (http://www.hallsensors.de/CYHME56C.pdf) for €14 each. Add the VAT and shipping and you hit €47.67. That's approx £43.30. The original K1200 plate cost £38.50 inc. shipping. I can't find the HES in the UK, so they have to come from Germany. A K100 plate? Think £90 and start climbing.

some time ago nigel found the right hall effects  and we bought as a group likely 10 or so , landed here  i think they worked out to about 12.50 aussie  each , so these days thats about 5 pounds each 

at worst the jaycar equivalents are 24.00 or so aussie $  thats about 12 pounds  and they work correctly , well some time down the track 6 years later still going strong ..

just an observation

I'm going choppity-chop on the connector when mine arrives as I intend to fit a five-way Tyco waterproof connector. Nice to see that BMW haven't changed the colour codes just for the sake of being able to do it.

You will be swapping two of the pins to one another, including the insulated one, so careful with that axe, Eugene.

Thank you for consuming two hours of my life with that comment. Found the 1974 concert on YouTube that I was at . Well, to be accurate, it was the night after the Earl's Court show.

Bunch of weekend hippies in a transit van, with an overnighter at Stonehenge before it was fenced off. But the line up...

Dammit!!! That was the FC Dave Swarbrick/Sandy Denny line-up too. I doubt I'd have appreciated it back then - I was only 11.

Sitting cuddled up one evening with my Pommie girlfriend at the time, watching PF perform during Live Aid or something or other and she turns to me with wonder and remembrance in her eyes and says, "Daz, why are they sooo good!?" 

"As good as those brownies, dear?", I replied.

There were some big appreciation gaps for me too, but nothing to do with my age. It still felt like the 60s after all...
