wanted: new or used '37 speedo cable!

Jon B

Actually, I need the jacket itself -- with or without a working cable. I'm about to contact "the usual suspects" but thought I'd post something here, first. The 1937 cable jacket is an oddball: it takes a sort of 90 degree curve at the bottom end (with a metal bracket holding the curve) and the top end has a strange outside-threaded male fitting.



The cable itself twisted within the jacket and is no longer removable, else I'd just slide a new "universal fit" in. If I just get the outer jacket I can use a new inner cable.



I can supply dimensions, if required, as soon as I get back to the storage shed to remove this.

Thanks, Ron. A fellow Hudsonite is sending a used cable to me, but I'll check my old one against the Ebay one, and might buy that one, as a backup!
