Thanks, Bob. That should help a lot!
BTW, the last cable I got from Moss had a nylon bushing (I think).

West Valley Instruments specializes in British cars and here's what Morris
at West Valley Instrument requires in a Speedo/Tach cable to guarantee his
repair work:
Tip can only protrude from 1/4 - 5/16"
The cable end is square and should measure 0.122" - 0.124"
He prefers but doesn't require a nylon bushing at the end of the cable and
not a steel bushing. I think the Moss/TRF cables all have steel bushings.
NFI and YMMV

Bob,
Do you remember what the measurement is supposed to be? The speedo on my 65
TR4A has 'bounced' since the day I got it. I've changed the speedo cable
twice and lubricated it several times.

Oliver.......... I can tell you that when I sent my speedo out to West
Valley for a rebuild/calibration, the first thing Morris asked me to do was
to measure the tip of the speedo cable. If it wasn't + - "X" inches he
wouldn't guarantee the rebuild. If the tip is too long it can damage the
speedo/tach. Mine was 1/8" too long so he rebuilt the cable for $25.
