Broken Speedometer Cable - Todd Jones - 08-22-2006 10:04 On my 1978 FC 33' SB I Have found a broken speedo cable. It it the one going from the speedometer to the box and is a little over 6' long. From the box to the rear of the transmission the cable is still attached and looks fine, (though I will probably chech both ends). Where are some of the best places to check for replacement part? The outer sleeve for the cable looks good. On one end, the cable is missing the pinched on adapter (to the cable) with the solid square extrusion piece missing. It does not look like it can be fixed wihout replacing the whole cable assembly...... is this correct? Thanks Todd Jones Lincoln, NE. 78 FC 33'SB . .

Just take the old one to them if the outside housing is in good shape, you only need to replace the cable. Jim Yorba Linda, Ca 82 FCRB Broken Speedometer Cable - Jeff Miller - 08-22-2006 14:52 There are shops where you can have the cable made, just take in the old one and they can duplicate it. I have a local auto-electric shop where they make mine, I've also had them made by a heavy-truck repair shop as they are used for speedometers as well as tachometers on trucks and other diesel equipment (pumps, generators, welders, etc.). - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Todd Jones" > > On my 1978 FC 33' SB I Have found a broken speedo cable. > It it the one going from the speedometer to the box and is a little > over 6' long.
