Speedo cable routing
Finally got to the point where I need to hook-up the speedo.
Looking for suggestions on best way to route the cable. Any pics appreciated. I have a toploader and traditional mechanical reverse wind speedo. Can I use a standard mustang part, or need a bespoke item? |
Hope my memory is correct on this. I have the same speedo/transmission. I used a standard Ford speedo gear adaptor at the transmission but I installed a reverser at the speedometer so the speedometer spins in reverse correctly. It could be mounted at the transmission end if there is more room down there.

I ran my speedo cable up through one of the dash support tubes.
Nice straight shot from the tranny up to the back of the speedo. |
Thanks for your answers, finally got the right cable.
Can anyone tell me what size/thread is used to fix the speedo cable bracket onto the gearbox casing? |
