I ordered parts from Pelican this week but they did not have the speedo cable I needed available. I read the two Pelican reviews posted for the Gemo cable and both said the part did not fit. Apparently the transmission end is not threaded correctly. I ended up ordering from SMC, well guess what? The cable has reverse threads at the angle gear connection and does not fit. I suspect a bad batch.
Does anyone know of a West coast vendor or member that has good stock? Thanks, Brian |

Update: Auto Atlanta confirmed that three cables they just received have mismatched threads on the angle gear side. Do not buy a Gemo speedo cable without confirming with the seller that the threads are proper.
I had an ebay seller tell me that they no longer have them in stock after I inquired and another that says "I would say, don't buy mine, I don't have time to look. Thanks, Anyway!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
