I have the AP50 on my HJ75 troopie. It DID need both magnets AND cutting the black wire loop, I think just one magnet would not help with shaft balance either.
I use epoxy glue (araldite) to stick the magnets on a cleaned and degreased area of the rear shaft flange at the transfer box, they are wired on too. The pick up mounts on a bracket which is bolted where the speedo cable is held as
well. The bracket hardware that came with the unit was no good for that job, bent my own from flat alu bar. I believe in doing this job once and reliably, therefore would not recommend using double side tape other than for testing purposes, its a hostile enviroment.
The unit works great with the 6.2 litre diesel engine, I am not sure if the standard donk has the grunt for using it on other than dead flat roads.
I do turn it off if it gets too hilly - too expensive on fuel otherwise :-(
Do not forget to fit the extra switch to the clutch pedal, it IS required if you like your engine.
