Take a dry slap from me Jon. :twisted:

Stick the word "speedograph" in the search box top right.

Then listen to his beardness mac.

Then all will become clear as to why no-one so far has bothered answering... :wink:

All the same HHHOOOOWWW MUCH?! Near £40 posted? I'll stick to knowing that in 4th at 100RPM approx I'm doing around 40MPH etc etc for now, until funds allow.

At least you can still get them in the UK from a quality outlet.

I didn't know they were being re-made or are they NOS? I just expected them to be about 20 quid not 40. :lol:

Hi jon.
There are adds in practical classics that do speedo cables.
Havn't a clue how much though.
Cheers Mark.

Hi Lads.
A smiths one just pushes onto to back of the clocks.
A VDO one screws onto the back of the clocks.
Cheers Mark.

Just a note about speedo cables (still available from Speedograph Richfield).

Yes, I know everybody thinks they're expensive but you get what you pay for. To help in the decision making process I have purchased a VDO version and I find them to be of excellent quality - even including the anti static earthing wire (which the OE version latterly included.
