Speedo cable

Post by Subafury » Wed Oct 11, 2006 11:40 pm

is the MY cable longer than the L series one anyone know?
i have to source a longer one/somehow fix mine in the next few days to get over the pits.
ive just spent 2 and a half hours tryin to get mine in and decided its not physically long enough to hold itself in. (with 3" lift)
any suggestions?

From memory the MY auto cables were the longest.

Could be a link here, most of the WA boys do not have working speedos and they all have lift kits.

FYI L Series Automatic Speedo Cables are 50mm longer. I put one on my 2" kit and its more than enough.

Matt, Brendon should still have the cable from his Auto wagon.....but I seem to remember him saying it was actually shorter than a manual one.

cheers for the help. i went down to a-parts today and got a brumby cable for $25. did the trick nicely- about an inch and a half longer. went in pretty easily although needs more lubing i think. meh itll do to get over the pits.

Im glad u got it sorted... mine had unplugged too... difference being mine is long enough so just had to plug it back in and do some strategic cable tie work to stop it happening again.
