That is a fantastic idea!  I had never considered doing that
for a "Budweiser" Hall-effect, but makes good sense.  Like
a magneto on a lawn-mawer/weedeater.  May be a good
way for me to track 0 deg. on my rotary while running or get
a handle on real RSG rpm while running.  A couple of nylon
washers, a locknut and a plastic sleeve to protect the wire
insulation and you're set.  Thanks again!
