    My speedo cable went a while back and I am procrastinating about changing it.... Waiting until I take the overdrive out for a strip-down and check. It's a pain in the proverbial getting at those three little screws with the Fairey hanging next to them....

    There is a real easy way to put those screws back in. Get a long screwdriver. get some plastic tube the kind that they used to cover electrical wires. the right size that is a neat fit over the screw head slide it over the shaft of the screwdriver slide it to the end to capture the screw head bingo screw it in and you wont drop the screw ..easy..........

    Cable ordered, no overdrive and transmission brake removed �� Easy access.

    Next step is to see if I can reuse the round plate on the new cable.

    I may have needed to enlarge the hole in the old plate to get it to fit onto the new cable.

    Hi Aaron, that round plate usually comes with the new cable mate.

    I hang most of my screwdrivers on the magnets on old hi-fi speakers - doesn't take long to magnetize the ends and holds the screws fine.

    Rod is correct!
    The complete cable comes with the plate fitted.





    Oops! Just read "Grommet's" post, you must have a 2A cable!
