Title: Speedometer gear affix to cable ideas?
Post by: Smokey Eddy on June 22, 2012, 12:51:16 am

Ive lost the tiny ring that goes on the end of the speedometer cable which in turn holds the nylon gear on the cable. Does anyone have any ideas how i can remedy this?
I'm pretty stumped and finding a replacement ring is proving to be very difficult.

little bit of superglue.... tranny holds into place once installed.. just never be able to get it apart after you do this..

ebay had replacement gears. I bought mine off of the "moogie" guy that Gee-Bee always dealt with. I forget his store name but it had MK1 in the title.

its too bad the clip stays with the cable...

ive got a chunk of cable here somewhere. if its got a clip, then i will request an address to send it to..

Kevin that would be so amazing if you had one!!! I cant find any in the junk  yards and the only other option ive got at the moment is to buy a new cable. Mine is hardly used!
