I have no P clamps on either cable....I have seen clips on early 3s under a
slotted screw (at the 1 o'clock position) that helps hold the steering
grommet in place from turning with the column (in addition to the spring
clamp), that might be for the speedo cable? Although I don't believe my post
60,000 car ever had a clip there.

Subject: Re: [TR] Routing of Speedo Cable on LHS non-OD TR3A/B?
Consensus coming in through pm is that LHS non-OD speedo cable is routed
between steering column and inner fender, as illustrated on page 13 of
blue-covered "Practical Hints" TR3 manual.
No word on where a p-clip might fit, though...
Thanks, guys.

A new speedo cable will be installed in my TR3B in a week or two as the
original gave up the ghost about a week after the car's return to the
road
(a nasty kink exiting the gearbox). As I look at old photos of my car
pre-restoration and reference photos of other unrestored TR3A/Bs the
exact
cable routing isn't clear. The TRA Judging Standards
and Restoration Guidelines is confused too, apparently, treating some of
the details with ??? in the text on page UH-23 of the May 2004 revision.
Triumph usually did what they did for a reason, typically cost control or
maximum reliability.
Whaddya all think?
1. Does the speedometer cable go between the inner fender and steering
column or between engine and steering column?
2. One or two clips on the chassis? (the Triumph Spare Parts Catalog 4th
Edition specifies two, one to chassis, one to cruciform, with different
part numbers for each)
3. Any P-clips on the dash? (Parts catalog specifies a clip + screw for
non OD and even two on RHS version. A screw clip on LHS non-OD mystifies
me, and it's not clear which side of the firewall they're referring to
for
this "dash" clip.)
TIA,
Don
