Dave :
When using the angle drive, the cable does not route through the handbrake
boot, but instead runs forward (and down a little) alongside the
transmission. Since the angle drives are somewhat troublesome, I would
suggest leaving it off of your TR3B (if you have the right speedo cable).
It worked fine for me on a previous TR3A that I added a TR4 OD to. AFAIK,
the speedo attachment point on the OD was identical for all the A-type ODs.
