custom speedo cable?
Quote "1. I chewed through the $70 custom speedo cable i ordered from the speedo guys i found on mud (they are great to work with by the way, name escapes me at the moment, i want to say they are in Wisconsin?) because it apparently had too much kink coming out of the back of the speedo. After further review and feeling around I can see why. New cable on order, but given the layout of the Man-a-Fre panel i have and the depth of the autometer speedo, I'm thinking i need to drill a hole through the column bracket for it to work? Anyone had similar issues?"
I have seen that a couple of you say that the factory cable won't work with the autometer; I don't know if the year makes a difference, but my '76 cable works fine with my ultralite speedo. It is not threaded like the autometer, but the clip bites onto the threads and holds it in place just fine. Good luck.
