Speedo drive

Post by Aaronslimvw » 16th April 2019 - 9:52pm

Hey guys, my speedo stopped working on my lhd 73 fasty today and under further inspection the cable has snapped. Do i have to buy a complete unit to replace it? Or can you buy just an inner cable?
Thanks in advance for any help

From the major suppliers it will be an assembly that you buy. But someone like speedograph could make just a core for you. Don't know what the cost difference would be though.

The drive is the same, its the cable length that's different
