Help on getting a speedo cable

Post by Reno Speedster » Tue Apr 04, 2023 12:46 am

I have been gathering Speedo parts for my 22 and I have the drive wheel, a good swivel, the swivel mount, and a stewart 160 head in good shape. I am still searching for the bracket to install the 160 on a metal dash and a speedo cable. I have the club publication on speedometers but it’s not the clearest book I have on several details. In any case, I am not sure what length of Speedo cable I need and where I can find one. Is there a source of reproduction cables or should I be looking for an original? I see new internals available but not not housings.
