Launch Car ABS Modulator issue

Hi wondering if anyone has come across this issue before.

I have a launch car built on 6th May 1999 so it’s quite early. It’s a 2.5.

The speedo stopped working so did the usual of replacing the sensors, wheel bearings etc. Speedo would work fine for about 20 miles then stop again. The traction control warning light stays on as well.

I believe we have traced the fault to the ABS modulator. This has been removed and was sent for refurbishment but we were then told it was beyond repair due to internal corrosion.

It’s a Bosch part which was also fitted to contemporary Saab’s however Bosch no longer make it. Rather than risk one from a scrappy for which silly money is being asked we’ve found a new one but it’s in Spain!

Just wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue and how they sorted it.
