WTB Cold start cable and Instrument Cluster 1981 Rabbit
« on: June 17, 2018, 11:32:47 pm »
Need to replace the entire cold start cable to get IP to work well again.  Need both inside and outside cable parts.

Speedometer is not giving proper speed or mileage.  Need a need just a functional speedo but complete cluster is good too.


Send a PM and I will get back to you.  On here most evenings.

Thank ums

I have a cold start cable from an 81 caddy. If that would work for you I will dig it up.

That's what I need Sarg.

The outside part came uncrimped from the place where the cable attaches to the IP and
When I pulled on it after I got that locked down the interior part came off in my hand.  Grumble and grumble I did.

I found out that the only salvage yard in thirty miles of me is once again open on the weekends.  So I will check for a cluster there.  The actually did have a few Rabbits at one time and they don't seem to crush them like another place here does. 

Thanks Man, 

Cost to ship?  Maybe get it in one of those USPS white envelopes? 
Pay Pal for payment or send check or cash?

Check your Pay Pal account.  There might be a present under the tree.

I can totally relate to being busy.  I found 30 mins before dinner to make adjustments to timing to little truck.  Way to much advance after last weekend's bump. 

Doing 50 mile drive for work this week and was over the top clacky and white smoke on starts.
