Or pieces of slightly larger tubing:
- Cut a slot lenghtwise in each of them - Slip them over the affected sections of the speedo cable - Crimp them so they're snug -Use fasteners of your choice to secure them to the speedo cable This way you'll be able to stregthen and support the speedo cable

After serious degreasing with brake cleaner and more wire brushing, I decide it was time to make it look pretty. This is just the first coat on about 75% around. After it dries, I rotate it and finish the first coat. When, that dries, repeat for a second and final coat.

We talked about this idea as well. I’m going to try the previously method first as it should be a little simpler. As long as it stays in place, I should be good.

It’s looking good! I bought a super-cheap engine stand which makes such work even easier.

Yeah, that would be nice, but I really just don’t have the space.

Here is the result of the speedometer cable strain relief… I ended up just using the nylon zip ties because the metal ones wouldn’t got down small enough.
It feels quite sturdy and should do what I need.

It looks fine but not sure why you wouldn't just replace it as they're not hard to find in good condition. The plastic ties will eventually weather and fall off.
