I don't know about '70 GT's in particular, but on my '73 GT the speedo cable
passes througha hole in the fire wall between the bonnet hinge and the
heater box
that allows the cable to pass straight into the passenger compartment
directly behind the speedometer, and doesn't require a right angle at the
speedo.
I know the Moss' catalog shows a right angle drive on some model years at
the speedometer but I only have VB's in front of me and the right angle
drive is only shown at the gearbox end of the cable.
don't know if any of this info is useful... just my .02.

>Hi All . . .

>Some of you may recall the problems I've experienced with the speedo cable
and the speedo. I purchased another speedo from a lister with none of the
honesty/integrity problems discussed last week. The speedo has a right
angle drive that requires the cable screw in from the right side of the
dash. I had been threading the cable in from the left in the vicinity of
the master cylinders. Can anyone tell me where and how to thread the cable
in from the right side?
