What information do I need to give
to make a new speedometer cable?

 

Speedy Cables manufacture a wide range of flexible drive cables for speedometers and tachometers for most classic, specialist, commercial, industrial, agricultural and vintage vehicles.  We have a range of materials e.g. pvc in heavy and light duty casing, also steel galvanised and brass casing for period vehicles.

Our skilled technicians manufacture all our cables on site for standard and non standard applications for custom built cars, specialist vehicles and obsolete applications.  Where a pattern is not available, please send a detailed drawing of the cable required and we will produce it to the details supplied.  Alternatively, we will need to know to what size and make of instrument it is to fit to e.g. 80mm smiths classic and to what gearbox it is being fitted to e.g Ford Type 9 gearbox.  We will also need to know the complete length of the cable from tip to tip e.g. 6ft 6".

If there are any sharp bends, in your cable you may either have to think of re-routing the cable (minimum radius bend is 6" see diagram below) or fitting a 90 degree angle drive at the gearbox, this will then make a difference to the cable end fitting so we will need to know if you wish to have this option at the time of your order.
