Try finding a used one. I'm sure there are many out there.

I've got a search configured on EBAY for a used version, but so far, no joy.
If there are better sites for used MB parts, post links.

Ken and the rest of you - Kudos.
Working with Sean @ 928Docs to make a kit for the fronts that we can sell complete to customers.
They will fit S2 84/85, S3 85 ROW, S3 85/86 USA (not 86.5) when ABS was fitted to the car.

How much? I am going to try and get my oldest 1985 928S2 Strosek out on the road again. ABS has never been working since I bought the car in 1986.

The rears are still a problem AFAIK. So far no luck in finding an easy/affordable fit.

Working that out now.* Had to order some new wiring bits and we are going to try a couple of sensors to test.* Give it a couple weeks and Roger will know more.

Any plans for Rears as well?

Have not found a sensor that is compatible yet. Still searching.

I do need to know what the exact length the wire is from sensor end to connector end on the fronts. We got this figured out after that.

I tried one set of sensors recommended on here, but they didn't work. I'm assuming that the inductive characteristics were not matched, continuity was good back to the controller. Unfortunately, inductive characteristics are not published, and I don't think anybody knows the same for the original sensors. It will have to be pure trial and error.

Just curious, which ones work at the front? Can they be adapted to the rears? I think the difference is they need to be about 10 mm shorter. Can a spacer be created to achieve that difference? I will give it a try if I know which front sensors to buy.

Thanks,

928 Wolf It would be useful to note which sensor you tried as there are multiple examples discussed in the thread. Two owners have reported success with the 3515092, ABS Speed Sensor for the fronts.
They were both S3 cars USA. Yours is a Euro and could be 16v or 32v. Putting your car details in your signature would be really helpful.
AFAIK all cars from 84 to 85 (86.5 USA) had the same ABS system when fitted.

I tried the rear sensor:
Rear Volvo ABS264 Rear Volvo ABS264

It didn't work. My car is a 1985 Euro, 16V engine.
