Instrumentation / Re: Speedometer Cables - things that should be easy but are not
« Last post by bd on May 07, 2024, 08:52:55 AM »If the only issue is noise, have you considered removing the cables from the housings to clean and lubricate them? You'll need needle nose pliers, a clean disposable cloth rag, a can of aerosol carburetor cleaner, and lightweight lithium grease. It might be cheaper than replacing the cables if you already possess most of the materials. Otherwise, a one-piece cable of the appropriate length is a good solution. Look for a cable having the same type of termination at the speedometer head as the original. Some factory cables terminated in a molded square-shank nylon key that engaged the speedometer. Many aftermarket cables are missing the nylon termination and can introduce a bouncy speedometer needle due to poor fit, so beware.
