Urgent: Speedo cable wanted

Post by mattywatsit »

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to purchase a Speedo cable asap - it's pretty urgent as the plastic bayonet end of mine has shattered :(

Thanks all.

Speedy Cables (http://www.speedycables.com/) Ring them up, they know about the cars.

They might ask you to order via George Mitchell, if that occurs post again, we'd have to check if he is currently acting in a selling capacity but have the means to do so.

Second hand ones will be about to do what yours has just done.

Thanks Chris,

I've managed to get it working with a little bit of engineering (or rather bodging ;) ) involving plastic welding and hot glue...

turns out the cable had come undone at the wheel hub end too! which wasn't helping....

It now works quite well, but I will still buy a new cable - as this is 2x 300 series that this part has broken on me!

Thanks again Chris.

Matthew.

Thanks for that Mac! My Speedo cable says VDO - so I assume that is the one I need.

I will look into purchasing one from them.

Many thanks once again.

Matthew.
