Speedo cable outlet on a Type 9 box
Folks,
Just a quick question - should I expect to get any oil coming out from the bearing where the speedo cable connects to my ex-Sieera type 9 gearbox?
The reason for asking is that I am making a sender to fit in place of the speedo cable, and I need to know whether I need to make any allowances for
oil in the design (i.e. a drain hole).
It won't affect the way it works - I just need to know!
cheers,
David

not that you want to change your box but....
the type 9 I got from my e reg ford granny v6 donor had an electric sender already on it!
I wonder if they can be retrofitted? might be worth a visit to the scrappy?

Unless it fits on an existing mk 9 I won't bother! After all the effort I've put into this box I'm not going to give up yet...
Apart from cleaning & painting, I've put an oil filler hole on the top lid and extended the gear change.
The sender's almost finished, and the code relies on getting 7 pulses per rev of the speedo cable output shaft. I don't suppose the Granny gives
more than 1 or 2 pulses per turn. I don't feel like re-doing the maths in my program!
cheers,
David
