Re: Speedo cable help needed

That is a different cable than I've used before. I've always used the type with the flat shoulder on the tip which will duplicate the original.

Total length of my inner cable is 80" with the flat side or base of stop at 1" from one end. It is for a 47 though. Measure your housing length. If it is 81 1/8" then it is same as mine. If not, then you need to cut your cable so there is 1/2 extending at top end and if like this one, 1/2 sticking into bottom of adapter or end is just past that small diameter portion before the shoulder.

This photo of my 47 adapter. Dimensions are 1 5/8 from shoulder to tip. Inserting a small 1/4" wide ruler inside hole, I can go in 2" before it bottoms in the narrow part where the flex attaches when empty and 1 1/2" with cable installed and sticking inside. If that is your adapter end, then we have different cables.

EDIT: Here is a picture of a Dorman cable. This end is the kind I have used before. It matches the original end shown in my picture in the earlier post above fairly well.
