Is it still available from Ford? Burtons may be worth a look or perhaps someone like BGH Geartech may be able to help? Welcome to the site

It's always worth trying the Fords parts counter, my local one is very helpfull and as some of the blocks were personally hired by Henry Ford himself they have years of knowlege

there are 2 companies that refurb speedos and make custom speedo cables; worth poking them a mail?
