Title: Looking for MKIV smith speedometer cable
Post by: cobra06FR on March 31, 2019, 18:43:53

Dear all,
My Smith anticlockwise speedometer is running nuts.
I guess it must be broken.
Does someone know where to buy these parts;
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers
Laurent

The main supplier in the U.K. for cables is Speedy Cables and your gauges are manufactured by Caerbont Automotive. Both the companies are on the same site and offer a mail order repair service. Before you do that though, thoroughly check the cable, that’s it’s not broken and that both ends  rotate when you drive. If you have a right angle bevel drive coming out of the gearbox, they often fail. Speedo’s are quite reliable.
