Hi guy's,

If someone has a speedo cable that's not currently installed in their car could they give me an overall measurement, preferably in mm.

I have a Toyota speedo cable here and I'm wondering if I can get the speedo instrument fitting modified to suit the Holden speedo when I fit my celica gearbox. I don't want to modify my original one as I want to keep everything as is so that I could swap it all back over if I ever wish to.

I know that I can buy one ready to use from Dellow or CRS but I was told just recently by a friend that he fitted one to a car that he was working on and it seemed to be noticeably longer than ideal. Whether this was due to incorrect routing or not I don't know.

I'd just rather do my homework before getting my wallet out.

Thanks

I used a Datsun speedo cable for supra in LJ

fitted both ends not too long and was about $45 new

would expect celica and supra to be the same at out put
