Vehc. Speed Sensor, is there a relocation kit?

Ok, we got the 9" axle in the '95 Bronco. But like i said in my other posting, we have no place for a VSS. I have hear that Ford ran a VSS in the T-case but i am unable to confirm this with books or any other form of info. I was wondering if someone made a conversion for this application (assuming someone else has tried this swap). All i need is to be able to move the VSS somewhere else. It would make sense that a kit could be made to move it to the drive shaft or output
yoke on the T-case. Using the same sensor and harness. Just have to fabricate a pickup wheel. I was thinking of using the ring out of the 8.8 axle but its geared for a 1:1 ratio to the axle. You put it on the drive shaft...its spinning...well in our case, 4.56 times faster then the axle. So i though i could take off some of the teeth on the ring to "Fool" the computer into thinking its actually slower the what its spinning. The ring has 108 teeth on it...and i though i would take out three teeth and leave one. That should get me closer to the 1:1 ratio...since i cant take out 4.5 teeth. I dont know. This is a biggie to me....that is why i asking for help! SO HELP! Haha! Thanks in advance!
