So I was checking my wiring to make sure everything was good and clean. Just doing some preventative maintenance and such as I install my new JWest fuse panel and fog ligh flash. As I get ready to pull my gauges out and check all the wiring back there I undo the speedo that hasn't worked for a while. Not that I really care (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I just drive by my tach anyways. Anyho... I see a portion of the speedo cable is still in the gauge. So I guess the gauge is fine and it is just a matter of a $25 cable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . So I got the cable and and wondering what tricks you guys have come up with to get the new cable in.
I am thinking of tieing the new to the old and just pulling it through. WHat did you do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) |

in the back dark recesses of my memory i seem to remember that a spark plug thread is the same as the speedo cable thread and you saw off the thread part of the spark plug and use the threaded part to connect the new cable to the old and (probably electrical tape the connection) pull it through.
