Years ago I was broke and needed to fix the speedo cable on my 914 before I got a ticket. So I took the speedo cable and made an adapter to hook the speedometer end to a 2L bottle. Made a way to hang it up out of a coat hanger. Then I cut a hole in the bottom and filled it full of liquid B12. Hung it up for a week with a bucket on the transmission end of the cable. After a week I refilled the bottle with motor oil, and let it sit for a week. The cable worked fine after that.
But honestly, that is way too much work for something I can buy relatively inexpensively. It is all about time vs money. Which do you have more of these days? |
