not breaking the speedo cable

[ianglanister]

in my old red one i tried fitting some gsi clocks and snapped the speedo (due to where it connects to on the clocks and the two metal bars making it bend, i have got a set with the black nova ive just bought and it has the same problem the lad snapped the speedo trying to fit them so i just fitted a new speedo (which he gave me) and put the normal clocks back in, is there anyway of getting around the metal bars to fit the gsi clocks without hurting the speedo cable? any help appreciated cheers Ian

yes push the cable backwards may need to gentally pull it from under the bonnet and then when you have done this the cable will obviously be further back into the dash them move the cable to the outside of the bar on the left the pull back the cable back towards you job done :thumb: hope this helps

As above. Just route the cable so it lines up with the drive on the back of the 6 dial clock set.

Common sense tbh.

Motor factor ones tend to be a bit noisy, I got my current one from a corsa B in the scrappers.
