SPEEDO CABLE ROUTING

HingsingM37 · Post by **HingsingM37** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 3:40 am

I have now entered the "were the hell did this go?" phase of my restoration. Many of my notes I put in my special shorthand don't make alot of sense now three years later. Another thing I did not take good notes on upon disassembly was the routing for my speedometer cable. I have attached it to the trans output, and it looks like it is four feet longer than it needs to be

Can somebody tell me how it is routed along the frame and back into the cab?

I found an old pre-disassembly picture and it appears it enters the cab through the firewall on the starboard side, through the oval hole next to the wire harness grommet? Can anyone confirm?

Hey David,
That is affirmative. Shouldn't be any stress or hard turns either.

I tried to putmy new cable in , but found the hard acute bend to go in the transfer case impossible to manage, even if sucessfull i feel it would only be a matter of time before it breaks.
I'm running 4.89 diff's so it is out of sync anyway.
I just really on the speed my Navman gives me.

If you will get a ratio compensator & a 90* gear box, you can fix the issue of the sharp bend & make the speedo read correctly also.
