Title: AC 2 litre Speedometer cable wanted
Post by: AEX 31 on January 05, 2020, 13:03:55

Dear all,

I’m on a search for an original Speedometer Cable for a Post war 2 litre car.

I’m looking for the original steel armoured type which I believe had brass
fixtures at the ends.

If anybody has one for sale or would know about anybody that might have
one for sale I would be most grateful to know.

I can be reached on jonas (at) jonaslindvall dot com

Or +46709266070

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards

Jonas

Hello,

for my prewar AC I had one made by a specialist in Germany - he can do almost anything either by drawing or sample and pricing is very reasonable: https://www.taflexa.de  Might be worth to contact them.

Good luck and kind regards,
Jurgen

Dear Jürgen,

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely contact them. Silly question but do you know
if they speak English?

I guess I’ll find out sooner or later!

Regardless I appreciate the info and that you took time to post.

Kind regards

Jonas

Good morning all,

A friend needs a speedometer cable for his 16/80.
Are these a standard length? I was only given the speedometer side of the broken cable and the rest is apparently still on the gearbox.

Thanks in advance.

Speedograph Richfield  Nottingham should be able to supply a replacement cable but as it is a PVT they do not stock them, they do stock post war  AC car types, you will need to send the old one so they know the type & terminations required.

Thank you Robin. They rebuilt the tacho of my Ace a few years ago. Very pleased with their work.
I will check with my friend if he can give me the rest of the cable.
