I added on an after-market cruise control that used this setup.

A magnet and a weight (or was it 2 magnets?) was tie-wrapped onto
the driveshaft (the half-shaft, actually - the car was a SAAB with
FWD, and ~1" dia shafts). The inductive pickup was mounted on a
sheetmetal bracket that I custom-bent to get about 1/4" clearance.

It worked very well for at least 6 years (until I traded the car in)
without any need to readjust, replace, or repair.

Maybe you could find the relevant parts as a replacement kit?
