speedo cable needed

[Speedy88]

The super wobbly needle of speed decided to die after 10,000 miles of bouncing. Probably need a new one, asap please

[volvodspec]

if you want a brandnew one, get in contact with www.dafhobby.nl we've had them all made (except for 343/345 2.0) price is somewhat around €30, don't know for sure.

^^^ Including RHD?

[volvodspec]

good call!!
well i thought the length was the same; LHD goes to left front wheel, RHD to right front wheel? but not sure on that; if it goes to right front wheel in a RHD they're the same

[filthyjohn]

Sadly not, it goes to the LHF in RHD too.

[trabitom99]

Part numbers are definitely different for LHD and RHD cars, I'm pretty sure that's to do with the different cable lengths ...

hmm..
well, technically you could drill out the hole in the front right strut and get a bracket to hold the speedo cable, similar to the one on the left.

otherwise the lhd cable's don't fit

[macplaxton]

I have a sneaky suspicion that they need to be longer.

Speedycables? or Speedograph Richfield?

(I did get a RHD spec choke cable from NL which turned out to be 7cm shorter than the one one the car (which looked like it'd be replaced once before in only 14k miles, when it was 3 years old). Nothing a bit of re-routing couldn't accomplish, but the original route was a long and torturous one!)
