Looking good on the sensors.
I get a a bunch of scattered numbers when I do hard accelerations. The log shows a bunch of high/low numbers....once I hold steady speed again it seems to clean up.
I do still have my stock speedo so I haven't looked too far into it. I do display the speed on my digital Dash off the rear VSS but I don't have any fancy boost by speed or gear set up so the scatter hasn't bothered me.
Let me know if your sensors work better....My mount might be too thin and there could be some slight flex but I haven't spent much time investigating it yet.

Clone, do you have pix of your sensor mount(s) by any chance? Material, shape (+ing) and other things could be changing things. Certain material mixes and the bend radius(s) can make a lot of differences in the strength of the finished "thing".

Think I went with 1/8” aluminium. I can of course flex it, but it takes some force. If it flutters, I’ll just weld a perimeter band to stiffen the mount.

Depending on the AL mix (other materials mixed in with the AL, then the thickness (all for additional strength and other things) then and add to that the dia. of the bend then add to that the weight attached to it, I would think that the AL could be pretty strong.

A bend radius too tight it going to have the outside of a 90-degree bend's material stretch start to tear because the inside of the bend compacts to be more solid causing the outside of the bend to do the additional enlarge thing.

Usually adding a side cover to each of the sides of the bracket to control the flexing I would think that would be pretty strong. Depending on other things there would be other choices to the design of the bracket(s).

The different mixes combined make up the different grades of Aluminum e.g., the 6000-mix series of metals.

This is not the only company for fasteners but there might be some information here to get started learning with.

Some more information but this is a start on fasteners as they are mixes of materials also. There are pluses and minuses for just about everything. This is not the only suppliers of fasteners. Where I worked, we had 35 3-ring books of which 3 were rules and the rest were components such as fasteners. The details in each were very deep in facts such as strength, threading, shank, heads, shank to head radiuses and why the different radiuses were used plus the finish on the unit and the fasteners coding, et al.

Most of the time the choice is simple but often, what you have to get for the strength (many reasons) you might need that certain spec fastener for. Alsp, read the company's documentation as I found some of the info, they posted the negated the use of that company's products.
