removing type 9 speedo drive cable
After changing plans from using a cable driven speedo to an electric one I need to remove the speedo drive cable from my type 9 g/box.
At the moment (to get it out the way) I have cut the cable leaving about 6 inches left attached to the g/box. Can I just cut it off flush with where
it exits the g/box or will this cause problems?
Cheers
Nick

if you remove the circlip at the base it comes right out.
you can then glue a disc of the right size in with instant gasket or similar

Unfortunately, that would mean droping the g/box down out of the car to get at it now as my interior panels are already bonded and rivetted in place

Just cut it flush then, no problem.

Nick - are you sure the panels are in the way. I have just replaced my cable after it snapped on my Tiger and with the front up on stands I could get
to the cable easy enough. Otherwise you can just cut it off flush as it is only a spinning bit of cable.

Just,
Will have closer look (under the car) and check, but from memory (last time I went under) it was a pig to get at with the pliers. Will probably cut
it off and be done with it

If I couldn't remove it and blank the hole. I would personally leave about 6" of cable and poke it vertically up the tunnel.
This way if the seals go you will not dump your g-box oil.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!
