DAT240Z Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I order a speedo cable for my 240z from VB. they send me one like this. I can't seem to get the white part to fit in the back of the speedometer. Have anyone installed one of these on their and can tell me how to install it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-260z-280z-Speedometer-Cable-Assembly-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6763QQhashZitem220081220700QQihZ012QQitemZ220081220700QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatMan Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sorry, I didn't grasp what your post meant. Nope, haven't had your problem. Can you post a pic of the back of your speedo? Maybe the PO swapped it...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT240Z Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 What are you talking about, did you even lookat the cable. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 It's been awhile since I looked at that end of my speedo, but I think that you have that reversed. The silver end with the internal threads go on to the speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 You have the right end. I think it is just the wrong cable. They sent me the same cable when I ordered one for my 240. No way will that thread onto the back of the speedo. You need one with a threaded end. Just compare the new cable to the old one to see what I mean. If you don't have the old cable I can post pics of the ones on my porch. I would have sent mine back, but I destroyed it before I realized it was the wrong part. Then I realized the one that came with my new transmission had the proper end on it, so all was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
