Speedometer cable support
« on: January 30, 2009 - 08:21:16 PM »
Hi! I have an issue with my speedometer cable. The guy who had the car before me, change the floor pan and I think that he did'nt put back a braket that support the speedometer cable and keeping it away from the exhaust. I would like to find good pictures that show how she made and where she should be.
My car is a 1970 Challenger convertible, 340, 4 speeds.

Please help me

It "snaps" over the cable, the ends are too big to thread it through.

Shame someone doesn't repop those clips.  I know a lot of cars who are missing them since the body shops never seemd to replace them on the new floor pans.

It would be fairly easy to duplicate from flat stock on an "as needed" basis. A hammer, a bolt the right diameter for a die to get the curves right, a few minutes with a vise......

Go to the AMK catalog and see p/n B-13121
It looks pretty close. Just weld it in.

Hello Alaskan TA,
I was wondering if you could re-post those pix of the speedo cable. I'm missing the bracket thats welded to the floor also and would like to get it in the correct position. Thanks
