Hi list, after reading a lot of threads regarding speedometer cables, it is still unclear to me where exactly the square part begins and where the counterpart in the hub is. I just pulled my speedocable, as it did not work any more, disconnected it first from the speedo and noticed it is the cable or the hub, as it did not turn while driving, just vibrated a bit. it is not broken, can turn it now after removing. Now there is the square part where the circlip groove is, then there is about 1mm more square material, then it looks to me about 1mm rounded square and then a 1mm wide ring with a bit larger diameter comes. is just the part before this ring responsible for the connection to the hub? If this cable is worn, how certain is it that the hub inner square is NOT worn? Is it necessary to pull somehow (How?) the hub in order to see? Or does the outer part of the hub (seems to me square as well, even though small worn corners appear as well just at the shell) also tale part in the responsibility of turning the cable? Poouuhh, I hope these question are at least half way clear, and thanks already in advance. I will order from GoWesty these parts, in addition i wanted to get some cupholders (and belts), where is the best place on the dash to put these holders? is the 3-4cm wide part just under the dash enough space to install these foldable cubholders? Thanks again Cheers Thomas
