Subject:Speedo Cable Broken 87GL: What's the Drill?
From:Mark B. Magee

Volks,
My speedometer was making a clicking which I thought was the unit
itself, from other posts I suppose it was the cable all along as the
clicking has stopped as well as the speedo and odometer alike. I am
certain from the Rick Borth at Overseas Speedo that since both are still
that the cable is the culprit:
Questions:
I should only have to replace the inner "cable", correct? The cable
housing assembly isn't involved with this mess on replacement, is it?
Is this just a matter of getting a cable and lubricant, pulling both
ends off (wheel and speedo head) pulling out both ends now in two pieces
and reinserting and lubing the new one?
I am running off memory from a Ford F250 I did in college so any tips
appreciated.

As well Ron, Ken/suppliers..... I NEED A CABLE!
