I'm contemplating a repair to the lower speedometer angle drive which
decided to pack it in on my 71 MGBGT. The gears are still good, but the
stub cable is chewed up and I have yanked out the remaining shreds.
I'm replacing the speedo cable, which probably caused the failure, but feel
I should be able to fabricate a stub cable drive from something. An end
from an old cable, cut to length and somehow attached, is a possibility,
although the diameter of the round part is too large.
Anybody been there, done that? I know the overdrive cable can be used to
eliminate the angle drive altogether, but I like the fit, when the angle
drives are used.
