Get the Part Number on the speedo when you get it apart.

And I could be wrong, I'm just going by the parts book.

Seems like it's been converted, should be cable drive.

 

The cable should be attached by a snap clip to the rear of the instrument. Is it possible the clip departed and the cable pulled away when you pulled the instrument cluster out? If you don't care to rustle around behind the dash and can see the rear of the instrument, is there a hole where the cable would insert into? There may be the telltale sign of grease at/near the hole too.

 

From the parts book.

And the one picture I have of a RHD dash shows the Speedo on the RIGHT.

That's how my RHD arrived. Some drivers would rotate the dials 180 deg so that the numbers were not obscured by the steering wheel

 

My speedo clicks/needle ticks at low speeds then smooths out at high speeds and appears accurate. Any experince as to where the problem is.

Lube the flex cable. Pull loose at transmission and at speedometer. There are sets that let you blow lube thru. Can also just pull flex cable from jacket, clean, lube, run it back in. Did that to mine during engine rebuild when cable was just hanging there. No more bouncing at low speeds.

Ah, so you were searching for a cable behind the tachometer.

 

What grease do you use?
White lith?

 

Any light bearing grease will do. I did not use white but should be no problem.

thanks,
too bad can't get astroglide to make multi use products, would save money and expand the bedroom uses.

would bearing grease work? (... for the cable)

Z

 

Too busy thinking of other things.

I see bearing grease will work.

thanks
