Related question. Sorry for minor thread drift.
My MT75 uses an angle drive that is held in with a circlip. The circlip can be seated OK when the transmission is out of the car. However, when in place it is very difficult to even attach the speedometer cable fitting to the angle drive output without disturbing the circlip.
I thought adding an ~8? long cable extension to the angle drive output would solve the issue nicely. I could then easily access the connection of the two cables from below the car without disturbing the angle drive. Got the idea for a cable extension from seeing similar looking short extensions for the chopper motorcycle crowd when they relocate the instruments. Not the same Smiths thread though.
Having difficulty sourcing a male x female extension though. Not even sure if something exists. Speedy Cable didn?t reply after several enquiries, which I eventually took as a no. Relatively local and very knowledgeable Smiths cable guy says he could not supply the male thread similar to the angle drive output, which he says are 3/4" dia by 26 tpi whit. So the cable extension would be m x f between angle drive output and the existing cable.
